If you don't know about COM then you can start by looking here: http://www.microsoft.com/com/default.mspx Now... when you find the list of commands / variables that you will need from the ActiveX container then you can make those calls with PHP. The relevant part of the PHP manual is: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php P.S. this sounds pretty interesting. I (and probably others) would appreciate it if you would post back to the list with a [SOLVED] response that shows PHP code you used to get this working. -- Teach a man to fish...
