Scan and OCR using ActiveX

----------------------------------------------------------------
I need to write a VB.NET application that uses ActiveX to scan
(remotely) a paper, OCR it, and save it into some file.

- Where should I begin?
- Any sample code to learn VB.NET for that purpose?
(I already know some VB)
- What software should I use? (Omnipage?)
- Where to download the ActiveX from?

Thank you

Here is a link to a VB.NET conversion of a C# program that will get you
started. There is no OCR capabilities in it. But, it will use your
scanner's software to scan. This code will work only on Win2K and WinXP.

I can't find a reasonable explanation for this. I have a table game, with primary key gameid (an int). If I use a where involving gameid and <, or >, or <=, or >=, then I get a sequential scan. If I use =, then of course I get an Index scan. More surprising to me is the fact that using BETWEEN, I get an Index scan!!

I have been working on this for several days and am still have had no success in achieving this. Pleae help. It seems that documentation for this is very limited.

At the company I work job applicants are required to do a little test. The human resource manager recently had a candidate who claimed one of the questions was ambiguous. Dependent upon the version of DB2 one or the other answer of a multiple choice question could be right, the candidate said. The HRM asked me to look into the matter, but since I am no expert in the workings of DB2 I submit the question to you hoping any of you can
