IIRC there were two - a command line utility and a DLL (non-ActiveX), both written in C. But I dont' believe they were provided with any VB releases - just something you needed to ferret out under Support. We had this discussion before, but I can't find it. (My Google skills have dropped to zero.) Both tools were quirky, so as the format was published, most of us just wrote our own. -ralph
