    This maybe in the wrong forum, but I'll ask the question here

    How can you take a snapshot of a web page on a specific day? A bit like the cached page when you do searches, except I want to save the web page/record on my PC. I've tried hitting the Print SCreen button, then pasting in to MS Word but its not really what I'm after

    Thanks

    Do you want to store the actual HTML, images and so on?

    Yes, exactly as the page is now, its as if I'm bookmarking it

    If you don't mind doing this manually, then some browsers will allow you to save a complete web-page (including images) through the File > Save menu option. In IE8 it's under "Page > Save As".

    Wow, it really is that simple. I was expecting something I couldn't do, thanks
