Can you give me an example? for example this is the code to read a specific line of the text library: [code] #include "apdefap.h" char* ReadTextLibraryAbsolute(DWORD Address) { #pragma code ("text_rt.dll") #include "text_rt.h" #pragma code () charlpszBuffer[256]=""; DWORDpdwSize=sizeof(lpszBuffer)-1; LPCMN_ERRORlpdmError; if (!TXTRTGetInfoText(Address,lpszBuffer,&pdwSize,lpdmError)) sprintf(lpszBuffer,"TextLib line %i not present - Error =%s",Address,lpdmError); return lpszBuffer; } [/code] How can I create something similar in VBS? Thanks [:mad:]

Probably I got that info from the odk hotline, butI'm not sure. I'll try to get this info for you, but if possible i would suggest using c-script for this. If there are any negative effects for using odk through vbs I don't know. if I have more info I will post here. with regards, Ikkezelf
