Scanning Document from OI (OpenInsight 32-bit)

Has anyone performed a scanning function directly from within OI.
My task is to create a "Scan Invoice" button on a form, and after having entered the invoice number, save the resulting PDF in the creditors invoice folder, all with the press of a button.
The client has an Epson DS-860 scanner. I assume the Twain or ISIS drivers can be accessed directly from with the OI environment.
Any advice/guidance would be much appreciated.

It has been a long time, but we used an ActiveX control that was a wrapper around TWAIN. The company doesn't seem to be supporting this anymore. I suggest doing a Google search for other vendors. This would certainly be the easiest way to integrate a solution into OpenInsight.
I was also relatively certain Sprezz created a commercial solution for this but I cannot find it on their website so perhaps I'm thinking of another tool they wrote. I'm sure they will chime in if they have something.

I am sure the forum will help converting the vb code to basic+

Thanks Don
We do have a 32 bit product and it has successfully scanned tens of millions of pages BUT we've had no demand to create a 64 bit version yet, so we're not rushing to convert :)

This appears to be posted in the OpenInsight 32-bit category.

Also worth noting that the solution is OLD old. It's a 16bit exe so needs a 32 bit OS. I was just using the Internet Way Back Machine to read about it nearly 20 years ago :).

Thanks for your advice but I am pursuing another solution:
Store the PDF in a predetermined "Scanned" folder by saving an email attachment or scanning document.
Record the PDF details (Creditors invoice) in an OI record by viewing the PDF.
Once all the required details have been entered rename the document to the creditor invoice No and move the PDF to the "Approved" folder.
Then process the creditors invoice as normal using the pre corded details where possible.
