  There is a routine that is used that you can adapt to capture the screen. But, you don't save images to text file format. You save to jpg, ( Jpeg) bmp, (bitmap) and other formats.

  You can also try this:

  Dim b As New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height)

  Me.DrawToBitmap(b, New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height))

  b.Save("C:\Form.bmp")

  'To save to a JPEG or another format include this argument:

  b.Save("C:\Form.jpeg", Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)

  Hope that helps,

  Dear Sirs,

  Thank you for your replies, you have been very helpful!... but how do I drop the image into a document and save it there as a txt or doc file

  Best Regards

  You can't store a bitmap inside a txt file (well you can, but it's not a good idea), so the best approach is to use a .doc. You'll need to use Word's object model for this, here's an intro: http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=316383
