After adding the required include file (#include <ScreenCapture.au3>) it works just fine.

Oh that worked, thanks.

Say I want it to save as a different name every time without having to replace older images, how can I do that?

Simply use a prompt for a filename, and store it as a variable, which you can use.

EG:

$filename = Prompt( "FIlename please.", "Filename please.")

And replace your filename string ( "blah blah") with $filename.

NOTE: I'm pretty sure I got the syntax and maybe even command name for the prompt Wrong; you will need to type it into help to check.

You could loop through a filename with an increasing number at the end of it until you find a filename that doesn't exist, so you end up with: screenshot0001.jpg, screenshot0002.jpg... etc.

OR

What I would do,

Just append EPOCH time to the end of the file, so when viewing them in alpha numeric order, the newest will be on the bottom, oldest on top, and the number will actually be relevant to the time the screenshot was taken.

Like this:

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <date.au3>
ToolTip("ScreenShot", 0, 0)
HotKeySet("{f5}", "ScreenShot")
HotKeySet("{Esc}", "Terminate")
MsgBox(0, "ScreenShot", "Press OK to continue.")
Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate
Func ScreenShot()
    Local $hBmp
    $hBmp = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")
    _ScreenCapture_SaveImage(@MyDocumentsDir & "\screenshot - " & _DateDiff('s', "1970/01/01 00:00:00", _NowCalc()) & ".jpg", $hBmp)
EndFunc   ;==>ScreenShot
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
