picture import (oracle forms 6i)

Hello and thank you for reading my posting!

I am really glad for each assistance concerning my problem. The situation is the following: We created a stock management for a customer (Oracle forms 6i). The customer can define the search criteria over a mask and receives then all specification to the product (availability, stock, special features, etc.). Now these information is to be completed by a picture of the product (picture import by digital camera or scanner). For the moment we implemented a solution using TWAIN (eztwain.dll).

We are testing on a Windows 2000 Machine (digital camera: DC5000 from Kodak, scanner: HP 6530). During the tests we had the following problems:

• If both USB devices were attached, only one or none could be used (bug in Windows 2000?)
• After clicking on the picture acquire button one must click through different configuration screens of the Kodak software, until one can shoot the picture
• The transfer of the picture requires (despite USB) a very long time
• By importing the picture into the Oracle application we encountered a noticeable degradation of the picture quality (display format JIFF, compression NONE).

Is there someone, who successfully solved the same (or a similar) situation? If yes, how? With TWAIN or without? Which hardware is used? We should present a working solution within the next days...thus: please, please, help us, if you can! THANKS!
