Dragan,

I've never worked with anything like this before. What's involved in accomplishing this? How do you convert the files into HTML? When you create an instance of the browser, do you accomplish this by using createobject() or is there some ActiveX control for the job? Do you have any sample code for doing this or have any hints on how to get started?
If you can explain to me how this works and I don't have to write five thousand lines of code to do it, you'll be my new super hero!

As far as I could tell, the OLE bound control has to receive its object from a general field (limits the control to only one file) which is not a good solution for me; and the ole container control does not allow the user to see multiple files at the same time (user can only see one file in the control but this one object can contain several different files and they scroll through the pages with no clear distinction between one file and another) and this is no good either. Thanks to the person who delivers me from this evil pit.
