You'll need some kind of scanning interface to use in conjunction with
Access. I've personally used Pegasus Imaging's TwainPRO, which is a
Twain-compliant COM component. I believe there is a free trial download
available so you can try it out. You just install the software, add a
reference to it in your Access project, drop the control onto your Access
form, and use it to initiate a scan. The scanned image is returned to your
Access code and you can save it as a file or display it in an image control
(for example). There are probably other comparable packages out there, but
this is the only one I've used and it works well.

HTH,
