Use Webcam Capture for Photo ID

[clents]

I am currently creating a membership database in which I wish to import live photos of the members using a logitech webcam for ID purposes. Any ideas on how to do this?

I"m just wondering if you have figured out how to do it, if you did could you please share that.
Thanks.

Most webcams are TWAIN compatible, like scanners and such. That might be a good start.

Mr Moe,

If you select the textbox and then select from the menu
Insert > Object

Then select from the list one of the image documents. Basically select from the list the one of which program you use for twain to capture the image.

If you select bitmap image then Microsoft Paint will automatically open up.

I hope this helps.

Andy
