Taking Photos In FMP

[Fred in Thailand]

Hello all,

I have a database for a school. I need to make IDcards with a photo of the student.

Is there a way to take a photo with a webcam and insert it into the file, all from within filemaker?

In other words, enter the student information, click button or something, capture the image insert into the photo container field.

This has to be virtualy idiot proof.

I have found a program that will do what i want in regards to MS Access but will not work with FMP. Hasn't anyone needed to solve this for FMP and mabey for School ID's?

There is a plug-in you can use with FMP called InsideScan that may fulfill your needs.

As for whether or not it's idiot proof: :hello:

edit: I'm sure this isn't the ONLY image handling plug-in. We use it because it's great at making thumbnail images. I'd be interested in hearing about others' experiences.
