>Sorry, I'm not quite clear about this.

Nope, I understood. I can't say with 100% certainty, but I think you are correct. Since the HTML on the page is sent to the publisher, that takes some time. If the HTML needs to be sent to the page from the COM before it gets sent to the publisher, that takes even longer. It could aslo be that it doesn't work that way, and goes right to the publishing service from the DLL, but I would still bet that takes a little longer.

But that doesn't really bother me, I can make them more flexible via the DLL, so thats what I do.

>Hope you won't object to more questions as I delve into your code in more detail. It seems a great way to get started with VFP and ASP.

Go right ahead!
