Determine scanner architecture, flatbad or feeder, WIA

[yotamoo]

I am trying to write a function (in VBA) that will scan a single page if the scanner has a flatbad architecture, or multiple if it has a feeder. I am using Windows Image Acquisition 2.0 on Windows XP. The following line of code reutrns an error:

MsgBox wiaScanner.Properties("3086").Value
In here you can see that property 3086 stands for Document Handling Capabilities. When I run it I get "ID not found". This worked fine on windows 7. I'm sure there's an alternative way for windows XP, I just couldn't find it.

Edit: this doesn't work even if I remove the double quotes

Any ideas? Thanks

It sounds like the device might have been installed without WIA support on the XP box for some reason.

I'd try reinstalling the scanner and seeing if that helps.
