I have several programss written in QB that because of graphics (screen 12) will not run in a window in XP. As a result, I can't capture the screen to import into my reports.

Windows screen capture will not work. Try creating a sub called capscr
that runs pixel by pixel and sends it into a flat map. Then create another program to change the flat map into a pure BMP.

I called Microsoft and they suggested downloading a free solution, the program is called DOSBOX. It works great. Thanks for you input.

While it is true that you cannot capture the graphics screen in QuickBASIC with Windows XP, because XP does not support QB's graphics, the programs
do run in XP, either in full screen or in a window. If you have any questions on this, please post back.
