Ron, Unfortunately intellisense is telling me that a type STREAM is required, and furthermore if I try to pass any of the subtypes the DLLs class constructor refuses to accept it. It seems that I cannot do a new on it but I may be able to somehow dim an instance of the base class. John W.

You need to create an instance of a specific type of stream then pass that. I've never used it, but I suspect what you need is a MemoryStream, you might want to check into that.
