Help with taking remote screenshots...

[greg_schmit]

As I understand it, and to my programming knowledge, you can only remotely access and control a computer by installing a program on the client PC. However, I would like to know if it is possible to recieve a screenshot from the remote computer, still not having direct control of the PC, but having the ability to recieve a screenshot. I'm not sure this can be done without installing a program on the client pc, but it would be great if you could do this. I have the basic idea of how my program is going to do this, but I need a function, lets say, sshot(strRemoteComputer As String), so I can get the screenshot.

Thanks!

You will need to have a program running on the other computer, so that it can take the screenshot and send it to you.

If both computers use Windows XP (and are in the same network) you can use the remote access facilities to connect to the other computer and take a screenshot yourself.
