We were, but the program we were using we got 10 years ago and isn't in circulation now, and also isn't windows vista compatible and our old scanner didn't have a driver for vista either.

Although I haven't yet implemented something using it, today's 
multifunction fax/printers have some nice features including one that 
Brother calls Scan-to-FTP.  I set it up on two printers I have so that a 
scanned image gets converted to a PDF and then dropped in a specific 
directory on the server.  You can preload a few profiles (maybe 7) that 
will each save to a different subdirectory.  You can then have FPro look 
to that directory to let the user pick which file to attach or refer-to 
in a record..

One printer was an MFC-7440 (20ppm -$250 at Newegg) and another was the 
MFC-8480dn (30-PPM $370 at Newegg).  They are network ready and also 
emulate Epson and (I believe) IBM print commands so you can print to 
them directly from FPro.
