I would like to run Microsoft Office Document Scanning programmatically from Access VBA to scan and create a text document through OCR so I can parse out the info. Any references?

Doing good. Hour about you?

I got burnt out answering questions, then started again then got burnt out again. Mostly answering a simple question then bit by bit being drawn into providing a complete course in computer usage and programing. Also a few times in Utter Access, I got chewed out by self proclaimed internet temple police - I'm glad that doesn't happen here.

Burnt out also, but hanging in there! Trying to spend the minimum amount of time needed to keep current with/about Access.

Hi Jeff!

I guess I need to start answering questions again just to keep in touch with everyone.

Nelson,
Either that was a hell of a good reference source I gave you, or you're very generous...LOL!!! Thanks for the points and grade.

Your link helped me find the links I posted. I needed to close the question since I am not going to work on the problem for a couple of weeks and it's easier to give someone the points instead of just closing it. I'm planning on posting a solution with code when I get one.

Thanks for your help.
