To All,

I'm doing a lot of work with images in VFP6. Many images come right off a web site (with permission). The current way I do this is to use MSIE's "save picture as" dialog and then put the image file name in a table field, then have a Picture control on a form point to that field. Lots of steps involved.

To streamline this I've tried to right-click on a web image, select copy, and see if VFP's _cliptext has the bit image of the file, but it doesn't seem to. Yet, I can copy an image and paste it into a graphic editor like Paint Shop Pro and then save it from there. Is there any way to capture the image without using a graphics editor? Like a strtofile function from _cliptext? Or, do I have to get into OLE drag and drop?

Thanks a bunch,
Allen
