Yeah, I thought so. It would be nice if it had that kind of capability but I understand everything has to have its limits. I currently have a image control in place but I was trying to eliminate a couple steps for the user.

Thank for the speedy reply.

The image would first have to be saved somewhere (local HD, network drive, SharePoint), and then attached to the form using a File Attachment control. There is no integration point between InfoPath and a web cam.

Add picture into form directly from webcam

Ok, I did some searching and the only thing I found about this issue is another guy on another website asking the same thing but got no replies. This reinforces my original suspicion that this is not possible in InfoPath. Here's hoping...

I have a multi-view form and on the first view I have an area where a picture needs to be.

What I need to know is if it is possible to directly feed the image from a webcam to the form and take a snapshot of the image and have the image saved in the form long enough to have the form printed.

It would even be better if the image was also saved to the HD with a name defined by data entered elsewhere in the form.

Thank in advance!
