Webcam usage with access???

[Guest]

May seen like an odd question, but here goes.

I am writing a package using third party software which takes users
(contractors, visitors, etc.) through a site induction. The package uses
ODBC to connect to an Access 2000 database to store a user's details as a
record in a table.

I eventually want to use the data to produce credit card size 'Site passes'
and will want to store photo images of the users in a sub directory
referenced in a text field within their record. I am looking for a way to
tie the user's details to an image taking facility to ensure the correct
references is maintained.

Is there any way of controlling, say, a webcam or other photo device within
Access 2000 to ensure references are kept intact.

I am pursuing the route of having my third party software controlling the
webcam. but without much success. Any help will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

Perhaps you could insert an OLE/Active X object
into an Unbound control, and then save the control
contents to file?
