<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mbynack, post: 325480, member: 11886&quot;]What resolution did you use?&nbsp; I used 200/200 and the edges of the coins looked pixelated and choppy.&nbsp; The top of the coins are a little out of focus, but the bottom of the coin is sharply focused.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I built a database in MS Access to organize my coins and I used an OLE field to store the images.&nbsp; The only way that I can get the images into the OLE field is to scan the coin first, open it in the Paint program that comes with Windows XP, save it as a bitmap, and then cut and paste the bitmap into the Access OLE Field.&nbsp; After all that, I get a pretty lousy looking picture and the database is huge after only scanning about 25 coins.&nbsp; I have over a 1000 foreign coins, so I realized last weekend that this isn&#039;t going to be a practical way to store the images.&nbsp; I&#039;m going scan the images and store them on a DVD with a hyperlink in the database.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
