Got me. We've been scanning/uploading CCITT group IV multi-page
compressed TIFF files for years, now, on WinXP. I've not seen
Vista, nor do I care to. I suspect that like IE 7, it would break
our application, in some way.

Thanks. Was sort of kidding, actually, though in general I don't care
to get into the details of formats. My broader point was that there's
no convincing reason to use Vista unless forced to, and as long as
you re-opened the issue, and Peter has not responded, what IS the big
deal with Vista and TIFF images?

I regret to say I barely know what a TIFF is. What's wrong with
gifs? What does scanning mean anyway? Like Google Images?
TIFF = Lossless compressed image. Works especially well for
one-bit (black and white) images, even better because there's
a multi-page option, and standard TIFF viewers abound.
Scanning is simply a way to archive documents. (There's other
reasons to scan stuff, too.)
