Templates??

[oasisfan83]

Hi,

I'm using the Kodak Image Control in VB 5, what I want to do is generate a common filename such as C:\scan\img.xxx" and then increment the file number eg c:\scan\img001.xxx,C:\scan\img002.xxx etc. without the user doing anything. The help file says something about file templates and using one, bt I don't exactly know what they are. What are they, how do I set one up and use it?? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

You can call a routine like the following.

Public Function GeneratePictureNumber() As String

    Const PATH_START = "c:\scan\img"
    Const PATH_END = ".xxx"
    Static intPic As Integer
    
    intPic = intPic + 1
    
    GeneratePictureNumber = PATH_START & Format(intPic, "000") & PATH_END

End Function

Usage:

MsgBox GeneratePictureNumber
