Hi,
Could anyone advice me on a way to get a screen shot from
a form window?
I have some automation code that creates a document in MS
Word & hooks it to the current record in the database and
the idea is to paste a screen shot into that document.
Any help appreciated!

If not already, temporarily change the form's Popup property to True. Then open the
form and press <Alt-PrintScreen>. That will copy an image of the form to the Windows
Clipboard.
 
Hi Kristian,

If you would like to capture screenshot of your forms, you may try Widows
APIs, there is an article providing a sample code:

ACC2000: How to Capture Screen Shots of Your Forms
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=210108

Please let me know if the article works for you.

Hello and thanks Alick,
I tried the code from the support article in my present
configuration with Office XP.
Public Type declarations seems to be forbidden?
And yet, if I make it Private the Declare statements
can't use it as an argument?
Can this be adjusted somehow? We're using Access 2002.
TiA,
Kristian
 
Hi Kristian,

In Access 2002 I create a new module and it works fine. Do you declare it
in modules instead of Forms?

Um,
It will not compile but when I call it from an
eventhandler in the form it works!
Thankx!
 
Great :- ) however, if you create a new database and use the sample code,
does it compile? Perhaps there is some corruption/problem in the database?
