Triggered screen shots
Hi All, I am running a trading application in Excel 2003 and would like to record a screen shot (or equivalent) each time a trade is triggered so that I can fine tune my trading by revising the prevailing conditions, indicators etc at the time the trade was placed in the market. A new trade would be indicated by "Placed" appearing somewhere within a range of cells on my worksheet and could occur probably up to thirty times a session. It doesn't matter to me if the screen shots are pasted to another worksheet or to Word or whatever. Is this practical and if so how would I go about implementing same? Thanks in advance for any help. I have minimal VBA skills.

Triggered screen shots
Hi, it's not possible to use print screen key via VBA - check help and the
command you want to use is SendKeys - only this one command Print Screen it is not possible to use with VBA. This is what you will find in the help: Note: You can't use SendKeys to send keystrokes to an application that is not designed to run in Microsoft Windows. Sendkeys also can't send the PRINT SCREEN key {PRTSC} to any application. €žBarry Taylor" napÃ*sal (napÃ*sala): Hi All, I am running a trading application in Excel 2003 and would like to record a screen shot (or equivalent) each time a trade is triggered so that I can fine tune my trading by revising the prevailing conditions, indicators etc at the time the trade was placed in the market.

Why not just take that data and copy|paste special|values to a different sheet?

Why not just take that data and copy|paste special|values to a different sheet? Dave, yes that would be acceptable - this is actually what I meant by "(or equivalent)". Looks like I may have been trying to take a sledgehammer to a walnut? :) I don't care how I get it done, as long as I get a copy of what is displayed on my worksheet each time a trade is placed - but I need it to be automated.
