>Is there a way to convert an image stored in the clipboard into raw binary data (to be stored in a memo field)? For example, if I right click on a photograph on a web page and select "Copy", the photograph is stored to the clipboard in some kind of picture/image format (maybe bmp?). The stored clipboard image is not accessible as binary data at that point. I would like to convert the clipboard image back into its original binary data format, so that I can store it in a memo field. Is this possible?

I've done something similar using Office automation - saved the document as html, and it exports the images into a *_files subdirectory, then I copy them from there. In my case, I had a series of spreadsheets with images in them. In your case, I'd create a new document, do a paste, save the document (which contains just the image) as HTML, and pick the image from the subdirectory, most probably using Word.
