I was trying to help out someone with Custom Models. I pressed F8 to make a screenshot of my extracting box in Windows 2000 Explorer - but when I opened paint to view the screenshot - I could not find the screenshot.bmp file anywhere Could someone just tell me where to look for a screenshot if you take it in Windows Explorer please

You don't use F8 to make screenshots in Windows, you use the Print Screen key on your keyboard. It then saves the screen to your clipboard. You then need to open Paint or whatever graphics program you use and paste it into a new doc.

If you just want the current active window as your screenie, (without all the background stuff), use Alt & Print Screen.

Thanks Bear - Stan is home now and he told me I can even use Alt Print Screen just to get the foreground picture!

Thanks for your help You're such a kind "Teddy Bear" really BAH!
