My method is to take the URL, wrap it in the bare minimum to identify itself as a web page, and store it as a standard document.
When CPRS retrieves the note, it scans the note and if it finds an HTML header, then instead of displaying it in a Memo field (the Delphi term), instead, it passes it to an Internet Explorer component to display. It works well. Kevin --- Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My assumption (perhaps wrong) was that depending on > Imaging to do > this was causing problems for you.
