Hi Mike,
Sorry for the confusion: I was not saying that YOU should use XML; I was saying that a '.cb' file IS in XML and can be viewed in any editor or browser, if it is prepared to recognise a .cb file as something it can read.
My bodge was simply to replace the 'object' tag in an empty .cb project with the lines I wanted, which I put there by reading a file very similar to yours.
My day job involves data presentment in many forms, so I find XML very familiar to work with, whereas C# is a Microsoft thing that I could not begin to comprehend!
