Thankyou, that does help! The .rbm file that is created is RTwain2PDF95 but the syntax listed in the PDF help files uses the the name without the 95 at the end. Do I need to change the name of .rbm file or change the syntax to add the 95 or neither? Plugin RTwain2PDF vresult.... vs Plugin RTwain2PDF95 vresult..... Mike

FWIW, previous versions of R:BASE, such as 7.6 or Turbo V-8 (now history) would require the exact name of the Plugin to be used along with the Plugin extension, such as .RBL. However, for backward compatibility and migrating R:BASE applications from 7.6 or Turbo V-8 to R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 and 9.5, you may use the old PLUGIN syntax, or you may choose to adapt the correct Plugin name with or without the .RBM extension. The built-in intelligence in R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 should make the transition as smooth as possible. When using Plugins, the key is to properly register the R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 Plugin accordingly and then place the Plugin (.RBM) file in the same folder with R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 executable, such as RBG95_32.exe (C:\RBTI\RBG95_32) or RBG95_64.exe (C:\RBTI\RBG95_64). Last but not least, in a compiled application, using R:BASE Compiler 9.5, you should always embed all Plugins inside the compiled executable. Hope that clarifies any confusion. Have fun!
