WebCam still capture code in VB/VBA using Windows 7 / Access 2007

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have used EZVidC60.OCX in the past to provide a method of taking a picture in MS Access using a webcam. Now that I'm running Win7 I can't see (preview) the video.
Emailed Ray Mercer, he no longer has a way to support his VB code.
AmCap works well, but I only found source in VC.
Does anyone have a simple method of webcam control / still shot that will work under XP, Vista & Win7?

Thanks in advance. Russ

I'm sure you mean this control ezVidCap Component by Ray Mercer (VB6)[^]

BTW I found these in CP

C# \ VB.NET Camera Communication Libraries[^]
Webcam using DirectShow.NET[^]
Versatile WebCam C# library[^]
WebCam Fast Image Capture Service using WIA[^]

Thank you, I looked at WebCam C# Library - It's what I need, I think.
Would you be able to give me some specific code as to how I could use it inside Access using VBA. I have no experience in using C from VBA / VB.

Thanks,

Russ
