video capture

[ghostrider]

Hi, I am working on an access app and need to capture still images from
a video source - eg webcam or video device connected to my computer's
video card. I am assuming I can capture this image by using video for
windows apis? I simply want a button on a form that saves the image to
disk in bmp or jpg format. Has anyone got an example of this?

Thanks in advance, Ghostrider.

Thanks for the reply Armando but I don't see why I can't use the video
for windows api's in earlier versions of access. I don't want to
preview the image within access prior to capture, just trigger the
capture to a bmp file from an access button. Surely I can just make
the appropriate api delcarations within an access module and call them
from my form - just like you can for other api's?
