Take a look at the ImageMan control from Data Techniques
( www.Data-Tech.com ) This includes Twain support as well
as ability to adjust rotation, brightnesss, contrast and they can save
and load to many different file formats.
We and also a number of our MetaDraw ( image annotation ) users have
worked with the ImageMan control and found this to be reliable and
easy to use.
I don't think ImageMan is a databound control, but you should be able
to save to a database by setting the a binary database field value to
the value of their VBPicture property
rs.fields("some fieldname").value = ImageMan.vbPicture
and load in the same way
ImageMan.vbPicture = rs.fields("some fieldname").value
You might double check with the ImageMan folks on this at support@data-
tech.com.

======================== ========================
For scanning you also may wish to consider GdPicture Twain SDK. Less
expensive than Imageman and more features. You can download a trial
at: www.gdpicture.com
For a free scanning development kit try Microsofts WIA... Windows
Image Acquisition library. Doesn't have all the bells and whistle's
of the commercial packages... but the price is right. You can
download from the Microsoft download center at www.microsoft.com.
Good luck!
