Thanks Alan,
I was trying to pull up a live image in another application and snap a
picture from there. I'm currently using an Integral FlashPoint video card
but would like to trigger a flash as well.

Not quite so! I've tried that WIA and it's a clunky piece of poo when
using with a scanner. If you're using either a film or flatbed scanner
