George:
I ended up using Steve's ScrnPrint utility to save the Active Window as a BMP file. Our apps are designed at 1024 x 768 and no other. We tell our users to set their resolution at that. I'm one of the few developers or testers in the company who use 1152 x 864, so I have a little more screen real estate. The Print Screen form has a memobox that allows for notes.

When I tried to get the bmp displayed in VFP, I needed to "stretch" the image into an image control that is smaller. When I tried to use Steve's PrintDeskTop code, the resulting printed output, didn't print the bmp clearly. I ended up writing a Delphi app, that scales the bmp into an image control on the screen where it still isn't very readable, but the printed out put is scaled correctly on the page and the memobox text prints great, too. I've tested this combination under Win2000 & Windows 98 SE. 98 works great, but I put another thread out earlier today, asking why the Delphi app works OK when run thru the VFP environment, but is unable to open the BMP file when run as an EXE from Win2000.

I'm quite pleased with the results, so far. If you have any ideas, you can look at the Windows API functions section for the earlier post.

Thanks for your response.
