Rick - thanks for the link. Hopefully i'll be able to swap out the webbrowser control for the dhtml control and have the existing formatting controls play nicely with the substitute.

>>Rick - i just encountered this with some Vista users. Works great on XP machines though. I found that MSFT has a separate download for Vista users so they can install this 'retired' control. But apparently its not the 'safe for scripting' version that i had been using. I guess MSFT is providing the 'not safe' version ;) or there's even more versioning headaches with this.
