Your instance of an FTC must contain code that tells the FTC how to handle specific custom objects when they are read in. See the XmlObjectCreate event in the FTC on the main test window. The purpose of this code is to translate an XML tag into a custom object when the base FTC does not recognize the tag. If you can see the "FTCustomHyperlink" tag in the XML stream that you extracted from the FTC, then what I said is probably what you are running into in that you need to add this glue code. ---- Brendan Murphy True North Software www.TrueNorthSoftware.com FTC Website: http://www.truenorthsoftware.com/formattedtextcontrol Set List Options (digest and vacation modes): www.freelists.org/list/ftcdev List Archive: www.freelists.org/archives/ftcdev Unsubscribe: Send email to ftcdev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the subject field.
