Hi Daniel

You got it :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

It needed gds32.dll in the BIN directory.

Digging around in the FreeUDFLib source I found it calls routines in
gds32.dll

I shall have to sort it.

Thanks for your help and to others for their suggestions

Have a great Christmas

Regards
Paul
