Thanks a lot. Just one last thing, I'm assuming that the server will allow (and handle performantly) multiple concurrent requests to open and extract text from (different) documents? Cheers, Thomas

I use macros to do that.) Otherwise you will need to start the server from hand listenning to a port. 90% of the effort is getting that connection and getting that document open. --- Gascoigne Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Cheers Kent, > > Just another quick one before I give it a try.
