I agree, but its my CLIENT's app that I would have to impose him buying... don't think that should be too much an issue to him and will propose it...

I have and used wwIPStuff for other clients (their licensed versions), and yes, it works great.

The wwIpStuff components (vcx's and dll) add less than 100K to our distribution after compression and do not need to be registred like traditional ActiveX components. This makes distribution and support simple.

To see what I mean, fire up Windows Task Manager and see how much memory IE is using after you've used it for awhile via automation. I think you will be shocked.
