Vlad,

Very clever! I'm beginning to think of Word as a very valuable 'ActiveX' (I know its a COM object) with hundreds of similar possibilities. (Disclaimer: This is not an advertisement for MS Word<g>).

Thanks for taking the time to think this through.

Regards,
Malcolm

Now just examine if there is an image file in that folder (to see if image is in clipboard. JPG image is bad quality though and I did nto found where to adjust a quality of it. PNG image is ok though.

>>Anyone have suggestions on how we might be able to detect the presence of image data on the Windows clipboard and save this image data to a file? We would also like a way to load the contents of an image file to the clipboard where the image could be pasted into other applications. There are probably issues about image formats (ico, bmp, gif, jpg) that I should be worried about. Any thoughts on this 'worry' would be appreciated as well.
