I'm trying in code to send a screen image of the active form. I've got the email part working to via the DoCmd.SendObject method, however the acForm sends the underlying table picture not the Form view of the active form. Please, let me know .... is it possible to send a capture of the active form image in an email via code.

thanks,

Sam
 
I think I remember reading about this SOMEWHERE. Kind of hazy, but involved using the clipboard object. Check out help on that, as well as SetText, GetText methods. Also
the key was to use the save option and save as a bitmap, or rich text file. I realize this is kind of hazy, but hopefully will point you in the right direction. Sorry can't me more specific. Happy Thanksgiving!
