Yes! Of course--that was a typo. It works now. Wonderful! Thank you, Mike. I owe you one :)
I still don't know how to instantiate a revBrowser w/o giving it some valid URL. What I do now is call revBrowserOpen() with the filename of a small blank htm file on the disk, and then refresh the htmlText property of the browser with my HTML text that had been retrieved from the database. Thanks--I'll heed your warning about closing the browser instances.
