David, The problem is that the scanner does not recognise the twain source, and thinks it is set to "optic book" wheras "ABBYY fine reader" is highlighted. As a matter of fact, I think I mucked it up myself by ending whilst the scanning was still in progress. I think I may have to down load and reinstall the thing from the web site. Any further views most welcome.

The more technical hopefully will help in greater detail. David -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.
