It did help, thanks. The thing is, I don't want to 'upload' my scans, there is an acquire button on my page that triggers the scanner to scan the current document on the flatbed. Currently this is only held in memory in my scanner class, I just wanted it stored so that web2py can present it in a lightbox kind of way (good example there). I'll keep looking through those examples, thank you -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
