Default A REAL CHALLANGE

I need to (from within Access) 1. Open a document scanning software so that a
document can be scanned; and then, after scanning, record the file name of
the scanned document in a database without having to enter the file name by
typing it. (The scanning software automatically enters a file name for the
document in the "save as" dialogue box) As I see it the created file name
needs to be copied to the clipboard when the document is saved; and then
pasted to the correct field in the Access database. Anybody know if this can
be done?

will copy to the clipboard. The difficulty will be that the name needs
to be selected and have the focus, just like if you would hit Ctrl+C
yourself.
Perhaps better to use scanning software that has an Automation
interface, so you can tell it which document name to use, or at the
least retrieve the document name used.

Hi Tom
Thanks for your response. I Knew it would not be a simple solution. Just
wondered if there was a way to capture the name of the last file saved in
Windows considering "My Recent Documents" (In XP) facility is available.
