Hi Alan Many thanks for the tip. I've downloaded the Wincode and installed it. I will admit to being somewhat baffled by some of the terminology but think I get the idea. My problem is that I am using Windows Messaging as a mail reader and the application's "Edit" menu only appears once a message has been opened, i.e. it's impossible (for me) to "Hook" Wincode to the application itself. It also seems impossible to drag & drop a listed message into the Wincode window. Have you sussed out how to do these things? Regards Peter %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
