ok, i got some help for this from some friends and we compiled this code from PSC, so that individual codes are not my doing, just the arrangement in to one sub module.
what does this do? ever wanna have a "screen shot save" button for your game? i needed one, for shots for Zodiacs of Phoenir (my game), so here it is, kinda easy to understand, so here you go... save this as a whole new module, named modSCapture.bas, and then import it.

' Visual Basic 4.0 (32bit), 5.0, & 6.0 Capture Routines
'
' This module contains several routines for capturing windows into a picture. All the routines work on 32 bit
' Windows platforms only. The routines also have palette support.
'
' CreateBitmapPicture - Creates a picture object from a bitmap and palette
' CaptureWindow - Captures any window given a window handle
' CaptureActiveWindow - Captures the active window on the desktop
' CaptureForm - Captures the entire form
' CaptureClient - Captures the client area of a form
' CaptureScreen - Captures the entire screen
' PrintPictureToFitPage - Prints any picture as big as possible on the page
'
' NOTE: No error trapping is included in these routines
' NOTE: IPicture requires a reference to "Standard OLE Types."
