    using activex ctl to invoke a scanner

    Hey all

    Could any of you nice people tell me if this is possible to invoke and scan a document via an activex control from a website, then upload the scan to a remote location....

    If any one know of a way to scan a document from a webpage id really like to know about it.

    Many Thanks in advance
    Carl

    Need more info. Where is the scanner.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.
