I've downloaded the shareware verion of WWIPSTUFF, I'll have a look at that. The ActiveX control I don't know anything about programming for so as far as me making a UI (does this mean User Interface) I don't think I'd be able to do that unless there is something real easy written somewhere on how to do it.
