Tony and Charlie,
Thank you for the replies. I appreciate your help.
The dll is needed to run the MetaCreation filters in stationery scripting.
Without it, the scripts won't run. I used it in Windows XP and it worked
good. It's just not compatible with Vista. There are only a few scripts
that use the filters and many many more that do not. I'm just going to skip
the scripts using MetaCreation filters. It will save me a lot of
aggravation. If later a compatibility fix is found I'm sure I will hear
about it from the scripting classes or on the internet.
Thanks again, Linda
