Steven, Yes, the string is in ASCII. As to finding it, you need to know what it is that points to the string. If it is a regular pointer, it will point to the length byte at the beginning (which of course is _not_ ASCII). If, however, it is a BPTR, you will need to multiply it by 4, since a BPTR is a pointer to relative longword, in order to get the BSTR's real address. -larry
