Why not run the VBscript on a spare non-Office XP client

Good point. I gave this some consideration today but believe it or not, we are lacking a copy of Office 2000. I'll have to rummage through the stacks of CDs again though, since this appears to be the stumbling block...

Gee, that feature has been built-in to Lotus Notes for several years now

...or I could just migrate our whole office over to Notes tomorrow
