> Sorry I really don't remember how this stuff works... The Foxitray code was based on a sample form that shipped with Visual Basic 4 back in 1996 or 97. Later I recompiled the thing in VB6... Here's the source that I found on an old tape, perhaps you can use it. foxitraysource.rar. (Sorry, no WinZIP on my current cptr)

That's kinda what I figured. Amazing how the older code can sometimes keep right on truckin while the newer stuff craters...

Thanks for the vb code. I'll take a look at it and see if we want to do anything to update it. If so, I'll post it back here.
