Thanks for all the replies but i appear to have confused you all somewhere.

The documents all start in paper form. Not digital. The cover sheet would also need to be in paper form not digital so that they could join it with which ever set of documents they want to transfer.

So I start with all paper, and scan it to email (using an HP 4100mfp). There is no computer attatched to the MFP to attatch any form of digital document.

I've been searching and have found some Barcode recognition software that i may try, since barcodes still seem to be the only safe way to put the info on need on a peice of paper and have it read by the scanner. Currently they do send each batch to its own email address, but that has its own limitations and downfalls.

Thanks again!
