I have a hunch that .NET is going to be the better platform for this due to easy activex access, but I'm curious to know if anyone has had success with ColdFusion as a scanning application.  Basically I'm going to need a web app to have scanner controls for capturing pages and then storing them to SQL.

If anyone has experience with this, or can even point me to an article related to the subject, I would appreciate it.  thanks!

    No, ColdFusion has no idea what a scanner it.  A scanner is peripheral that is usually plugged into a client.  ColdFusion is an application server that lives on a web server.

    If you find a client plugin that works with browsers, ColdFusion can easily include whatever plugin code the browser needs.  ColdFusion can easily work with images scanned into a browser and uploaded to a server.  But there will be no direct connection between the ColdFusion applicaiton server and the scanner peripheral.

    Of course, that same theory applies to .NET.
