Hi Ed,

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! But, I have tried to define the format (CF_BITMAP) and even tried to include the header files. None of this seemed to work, even substituting 2 for the param...as I research more and more, I'm wondering if I need to call a few more functions to allow it to recognize the clipboard in my program...maybe a call to the OpenClipboard() before I try to extract the data and then an EmptyClipboard() and a CloseClipboard() before I move on to the next process. I'm working in a loop and dealing with thousands of records that are copied to the clipboard before I need to extract them and convert to JPEG format for viewing on the web.

Anyway, thank you very much for your time and if you have any more ideas, let me know.

Yours Truly,
Tom A.
