Thanks Tim.
I saw some tracks in the web documentation but was NOT clear on what or how
much had changed. All I have available on my machines is IE 7 so I've no
way of checking IE 6. If anyone has IE 6 and a minute to spare, I'd
appreciate any feedback. I've attached a revised test routine that should
make it relatively simple. On my machine (IE 7) only 'CLSID_SEARCH' seems
to have any effect on the browser.
Regards,
Richard
