>>I want to download a captcha from google and present it in a vfp-form, but the captcha is not so easily isolated by automation. Interactively I can just right-click and can save the image, but I don't know how to do that automatically.

According to Lennert the problem is that when he tries to download the captcha using my code, the captcha is refreshed. In other words he gets a new captcha instead of the old one.
