Hi
What I need is as follows:
I write a trouble ticket app. where user would write the description of a problem. It is better sometimes to look at the screenshot with the picture of the error. Since not every user has enough computer knowledge, I want them to do as minimal as possible. So the idea is, that user will take the screenshot of the error and then just press the button on the app. The app will create the record for that user (I have no problem doing that), create a name for the picture and then save the picture on the hard disk and add the location of the saved picture to the record. Saving the picture from the clipboard using VBA is my problem.

Thanks,
Barbos

Here is a demo that uses the clipboard to copy and paste data. You may be able to amend it http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=167208

Hi
Thank you for the replay

The problem I have with this demo is that it saves string to a clipboard and I don't know how to modify it for picture saving.

Thanks,
