import images from access database

[swilldi]

Hi everybody - I have the following problem:

Have an RX scanner and want to buy the accompanying software to digitalise the images. the problem is that the software is for Win only. Guess I could use soft like Connectix - Virtual PC but that's the same as using a Win computer, while I'm a Mac addict.

Is there another option, even if i'll probabely have to use such an interconnectivity programme to install the company's software and to get the images into my machine (am using a powerbook at the moment)? the connexion with the pc is USB120. The scans are turned into tiff images and stored in an access database.

Is it imaginable that the images are imported instantly from the access database into my filemaker database, in which they than would be viewed?

Sorry, but don't know a lot about Win.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Maybe you could explain what an RX scanner is?

yes, sorry, should be X-ray in correct english, but that in fact is not very relevant

The only reason I asked was because I didn't know if RX was a brand name, or a special type of scanner. If it is TWAIN compatible, you should be able to find Mac software that will work with it. I don't know much about getting graphics out of an access database, but if you can, Filemaker can store tiff images.
