Save a captured screen image to a BMP file.

I've captured the whole screen with

keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 1, 0, 0  (Like pressing print screen button) command.

now, how can I save it to a BMP file ? (Form clipboard)

I'm using VBA under Access 2007 so pls don't suggest VB.Net codes.

This is VB6, so I am not sure it will work with VBA under Access 2007

Put a picture control on a form.

Use the following code

FormName.Picture1.Picture = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFDIB)
SavePicture Picture1.Picture, "C:\temp\Test.bmp"
Use whatever path and file name you want
