Need Help to Create Object

[Dale]

Access 2000

I have a check scanner from Magtek, (MicrImage) This is like a "point
of sale" check scanner/credit card reader. Magtek furnished 2 ocx's
(MTMicrImage.ocx & SaxComm8.ocx). They also give example VB code.

I need to make this work in Access. I know the following code will
require a lot of modification for VBA.

My Problem is getting started - I have copied the ocx's to the
system32 folder and registered them. I also have a reference to them
in Access.

How do I create the "Object" so I can use the methods of the ocx?

Here is the VB code Example -

************************************************** ************

Private Sub LogStatus(ByVal InfoToLog As String)

txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & InfoToLog & vbCrLf

txtStatus.SelLength = 0

txtStatus.SelStart = Len(txtStatus.Text)

End Sub


Private Sub cmdClear_Click()

txtStatus.Text = ""

txtMagStripeData.Text = ""

txtFirstName.Text = ""

txtLastName.Text = ""

txtMonth.Text = ""

txtYear.Text = ""

txtTrack1.Text = ""

txtTrack2.Text = ""

txtTrack3.Text = ""

txtMicrData.Text = ""

txtMicrAccountNum.Text = ""

txtCheckNum.Text = ""

txtTransit.Text = ""
txtFileName.Text = ""

txtIFD.Text = ""

txtTagNum.Text = ""

txtTagOutput.Text = ""

cmdGetTagByNum.Enabled = False

cmdGetAllTags.Enabled = False
End Sub


Private Sub cmdExit_Click()

Unload Me


End Sub


Private Sub cmdGetAllTags_Click()

Dim ReturnVal As Variant

Dim FieldCount As Integer

Dim i As Integer

Dim TagNum As Long


LogStatus "Getting All Tags in file " & txtFileName.Text & ": "

ReturnVal = MicrImage.EnumTiffTags(txtFileName.Text, txtIFD.Text)



If IsArray(ReturnVal) Then

FieldCount = UBound(ReturnVal)

LogStatus "There are " & FieldCount & " Tags"


For i = 1 To FieldCount

TagNum = MicrImage.GetTiffTagNumByIndex(txtFileName.Text, i,
txtIFD.Text)

LogStatus " Tag # " & TagNum & "= " &
MicrImage.GetTiffTagByNumber(txtFileName.Text, TagNum, txtIFD.Text)

Else
