Re: Webcams

depending on exactly what you want t  do you might be better off using
one of the applications that are available on the web (webcam32 comes to
mind but I don't have my bookmarks handy for the rest).

This will get the webcam image int  a jpg either on your hard drive or even
loaded up t  a website if you want. Your VB application could then pick it
up
from there.

The interfaces are standard for webcams etc nowdays I an sure someone can
advise but I think you want vfw support which most have.
