Thanks for your continued help, but I think my problem is not so much with the code I have written, but more the process of getting a VB.NET plugin running. And I would really love to get at the files the following URL that has been mentioned a few times on the forum, but seems to be broken:

If anyone here has a copy of this that they can mail me, please PM me?
