I have been trying to figure out how to capture an image withing my Microsoft Access 2007 application using a webcam.
We have been paying for a 3rd party application for this in the past - it is used for taking ID card photos, but the software has grown buggy over time, and I think we should be able to accomplish this ourselves!
All I need is for my Access application to use the webcam to capture the image and save it in a network share. That's it!
I have been trying to hunt down vba code, twain drivers, ActiveX controls... but they all seem to be either deprecated (Access 97/2000) or proprietary! There's got to be some other solution out there though!
You could possibly shell out to another app (using the vba Shell function) that can take a snapshot from the webcam and save it to a file. I found one example:

Good luck.

I am relatively new to Microsoft Power Automate, so I'm not sure how to use all of the features. Detailed explanations would be much appreciated :)
So I'm basically creating a Microsoft Power Automate flow to sense a new file creation in OneDrive, grab the text in that file, input it to a replit, then grab the binary file output from that replit and upload that to the same OneDrive folder. I have gotten to the point where I have the content of the file, but I can't find a way to actually access a replit and even run it or get any files back from it.
This is what my flow looks like so far:
And I already have the replit set up to process the input, but the output is a binary file in the replit's filesystem.
I don't have any premium subscription besides Microsoft 365 family for my personal account, and I am not willing to pay anything more or use my work email.
Thanks in advance!
Dears,
I want to capture voice of users using IVR built on Orchestration Designer and store it in file system as wav files. As far as I know, there is a way to do that by using Speech Servers such as Nuance,but, since it is expensive we want to find an alternative way. I have been searching internet for week, but could not find anything related. Is there a way to capture voice using java or voiceXML? Is it even possible without using speech servers?
you could use recoding node to record the voice. '.wav' would be saved in data/temp in your application but it would be deleted once your session is over. You need to write customize java code to copy and paste from temp to your local dir before the session gets invalidated.
I use TFS , My question is how can i sure about that developer who work on a project can not copy source file and evict or extract them from office by Email,flash memory,USB,... ?
Is there any solution with TFS?
Can anyone help me?
TFS has no ability to do this, once a file has been retrieved from TFS it is just another text file on your computer you will have to use other tools to do what you want.
Opening it up to tools outside of TFS it is extremely difficult to do what you want to do but it is possible. Your best option is contact a security firm that often works with government defense contractors and have them set up your network IT security, some government defense contractors have the same requirements as you list and they would know all the things you would need to do.
Off the top of my head some of the things you will likely need to do is:
Use group policy to block writeable media from being used to block flash drives and CD-Rs.
Block internet access to stop webmail.
Block printing to stop people printing out the source then using a scanner and OCR software on another computer to turn it back in to code.
Not allow any device that can take photographs in areas where source code may be on screen as the same OCR procedure could be done with photographs.
This list is no where near complete and I would recommend contacting a security firm to get a complete list.
We have a process at our company that processes TIFF images. I have a project where I want to be able to capture emails that people have received and let them pass it on to our imaging process. Right now forwarding an email isn't really an option but our initial thought was that we could create an Outlook addin that would create and send an image of the email to our internal webservice and it would just work.
I'm developing on Windows 7 with VS2010 and Outlook 2007.
I have the basic addin framework setup - that seems to work OK. The addin is there, popping a regular Windows form where I can do my stuff. But now I'm running into problems. First I was going leverage the built-in Microsoft Office Document Image Writer which can write to TIFFs. However, this doesn't appear to be installed as part of Office 2007 on Windows 7. Then I found some references that it didn't work on Win7 64bit in the first place, and that Microsoft was phasing it out in favor of their XPS printer anyway.
Then I moved on to thinking I could maybe use PDFCreator. This sort of works, except it looks like I have to actually have PDFCreator installed on the client machine, too. I was really hoping I could just bundle the dll and PDFCreator could natively "print", but it seems rely on you setting the active printer to "PDFCreator" and still printing to that. I was already maybe going to run into problems pushing a custom addin out to users in the first place; I don't know if I could get a new printer rolled out as a requirement, too.
On top of that, you apparently can't set the active/default printer in Outlook once it's running. So my plan to run the addin, change the default printer to PDFCreator, print it, then change it back isn't going to work after all anyway.
We really wanted to be able to capture emails as if the user had printed them out and scanned them, which is what they have to do now. I would really not like to rely on copying/pasting into another application if I can help with it.
Sooooooo, what other options might I have? Is there any close to native functionality in Windows or Office that would let me print to something and eventually get a TIFF? Does it look like I'm going to have to try and string together a bunch of 3rd party tools or something? It looks like the only way to "print" an email is to do the MailItem.PrintOut() command, which is just going to go to whatever the current default printer is. Are there any other TIFF-printing things available that wouldn't involve installing a new virtual printer on the end user's machine? Any other ideas? Thanks for any help!
Although you ruled it out at the start of the question...
Assuming you need those tiffs at a central location and not at the employee desktop.... I'd still advise you to have your addin forward the respective mail to a central location (as an attachment to a automated mail, or perhaps just write it to a queue folder on some network location), then have a central process pick it up and print it out to tiff files.
Unless you have exact control over the client machines at your company (which from the sound of it, you don't), you really want to move some fickle as 'switching printers in Outlook' away from the clients.
That doesn't mean this approach doesn't require hacks as well, because that central process will be running outlook to do the work.
I assume it is important that your tiffs look like they were actually printed from Outlook, if not please add that as extra information to your question, as it opens new routes. Like capturing the email-screen rendering and putting that inside a tiff file, which can all be done on any desktop machine.
I am using citrix to access a application remotely. I am not able to use winrunner as it dosent identify objects as application is not installed on working PC. Is there any tool to automate such application
Citrix has a product called EdgeSight. Tevron has a product called CitraTest.
Have you looked at using AutoIt? It has a built-in recorder to record your keystrokes and mouse movements/clicks, which you can then dump into a script and playback. You can also reference certain windows that present and preform special actions against such as hiding them or, adding/removing controls...really just about anything you want. They also have a great community forum see here
Is tevron Citrab Test tool is an open source tool?
Citratest will work for what you are describing, but it is not open source.
