J. Crescencio,

It turned out that the names of the properties and methods simply had nothing to do with the documentation.

I went into visual basic and into the Object browser and found such properties as "FileName" and methods such as "SaveToFile." MSDN gives completely different properties and methods, such as "Name" and "WriteToFile".

Anyway, once I saw everything in the VB Object Browser, I was in business.

Thanks.
