Thanks I'll give that tool a review. Upon further testing, I'm wondering what the requirements are for supporting OLE embedded graphics. I was able to load and process this file on my local desktop both via the FrameScripts and by hand. But when I took this to my build machine it failed with the scripts and it failed by hand.
To support OLE reading the graphic back in, do I need to have the original application? This is the primary difference I could think of. Out build machine might not have Office for something from Word for instance, but that would be common on our personal machines. ..dan *************** Dan Vint Engineer Sr. BEA Systems Home: 510-522-4703 (generally working from home) Office: 408-570-8554 IM Yahoo: dvint1_99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Jeremy H.
