    How to use a WebCam in Access 2016

    Hi,
    I've picked and copied an application from the internet but it doesn't work.
    My input form remains black.
    Maybe someone has a solution for this.
    Tx
    regards

    It works for me. All I did was download your file and open the form and click button. Runs right 'out of the box'.

    Why doesn't it work for me.
    I have Windows 10 64 bit.
    I only get a black form.
    Is there a setting which is not correct?

    I don't know. Since it works for me, there is no error for me to debug.

    I did find some indication that a web cam might not be compatible with code but no resolution for that.

    Check your references for WIA driver (Windows Image Acquisition)

    Once you select your camera you have to try different settings till it works

    I've seen this same code before though not sure where it comes from.
    For info it works for me using Access 365 32-bit but not using A365 64-bit. In both cases, I have Win 10 64-bit

    I haven't yet checked whether all the API declarations are correct for 64-bit
