Thanks for coming back.
The subform contains up to 120 images which are generated using a program
called imagemagick. The subform displays all the images after the OnCurrent
event. The routine I described in the original posting saves the whole Access
window to the Clipboard which I then paste to paint. As you suggest, I need
the handle to the Subform as is, complete with images which I can save to the
clipboard. I don't want the surrounding main form or Access window Phil
