Yes, again, your Visual Basic code will need to execute an external program and capture the STDOUT and/or STDERR of the external program. I'm afraid I can't help you on hte VB side of things -- I don't know what facilities it has for executing external programs. I think your question is more appropriate for a VB list, not a Perl list. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. -- Mark Twain -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
