They have a page where you set up a button to place on your own web site to accept payments. It asks a couple of questions including the itemid thing and then it creates HTML which you are supposed to paste in to your site. I thought maybe I could use the activeX Web Control and directly paste that code into that browser control causing it to display the button. Something like that. I am not finding anything with Google but of course it is just getting overwhelmed with hits on doing PayPal on normal web sites. Tons of hits on how to do that. John W.
