I forgot to mention that to do this, the form has to be visible, but you can move it off screen so it is not displayed and then use these concepts to capture it.
Oops, you'll have to do this in reverse. If you move the form off screen, the capture process will grab some of the desktop instead of the form. Since your form is already invisible, I'd suggest making it briefly visible during the capture. At the beginning of the capture process, make your form visible (or bring it on screen), do the capture as shown in the demo project above, then make your form invisible again (or move it off screen). I think it will go so fast no one will see it.
Let me know how it goes.

Also, I just noticed I left a "Debug.Print Now & " busy"" statement in the btnGo_Click routine. You'll probably want to comment that out.

thanks
Or another idea would be to use a web browser control on your form, with the web browser object setting .visible=false, and then print that. Again, I haven't tried printing a web browser control, but it might be another avenue to try.
