yeah you are right and I knew that :), I just need to create a new FormatterSink, not the Formatter I wasn't thinking when I was typing, need more caffine :) Thanks again Mike

Meant to mention I(Client/Server)FormatterSinkProvider; not IFormatProvider. That's what I get for typing from memory :-) BTW - with respect to your reply, you don't need to reimplement the formatter, just the formatter's factory. This should be easier than building the actual formatter, but having never done it myself I can't confirm that... -Mike DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/woodring
