From: Rick Rothstein on 2 Mar 2010 13:40 Why? My question was directed to Paul in response to a comment that Paul made. I personally don't care about Express myself (as I don't plan to ever use VB.NET myself)... I just wanted Paul to acknowledge whether his suggestion will cost the OP any functionality or not if he should decide to follow Paul (and mayayana's) advice. I thought my purpose was obvious, but I'm guessing from your posting that it was not. Anyway, that was my intent and, as such, I'm pretty sure it is relevant to the thread as it has developed. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Nobody" <nobody(a)nobody.com> wrote in message news:OzMp0TjuKHA.732(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > "Rick Rothstein" <rick.newsNO.SPAM(a)NO.SPAMverizon.net> wrote in message > news:OZT53riuKHA.5036(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >>> Aha!

It wouldn't have mattered. This is a newsgroup, not a website. Almost all of the respondants were posting via NNTP, not HTTP, so (aiui) you'd never have been notified. To use a newsgroup effectively you really have to actually use the newsgroup. Best option is with a real newsreader, not a browser. > I think the suggestion by Shotgun Thom is the best.

And XP-SP1+ restricted, just like .NET -- maybe that's not a problem, but you need to be aware of that. > My only problem is that > many of the .TIF files i am trying to convert are multipage documents.

I'm pretty sure that library will work with multipage TIF files directly *and* it's not similarly OS-restricted. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

You bring up an interesting point and is something that is always just behind the curtain when replying to a "Can you do ..." question. What in programming is truly impossible? <g> -ralph
