Thanks Nadya

The second thread link was most useful as it contained the code for saving as a BMP. I have emailed Alexander and till he replies, I will have to save as a BMP. This gives a 2Meg plus file per screen dump on my computer.

I know it will be less with a JPG but will have to wait till Alexander replies.
