Hi, Was just wondering if anyone knew how to export variable data from a definition file into a vb.net file. I have a .def file which is called automatically to archive images and it's associated tag file data.

I need the tag file data to populate a database therefore need to get this tag file data from the .def file into some vb code.

If anyone can offer any advice then I would be grateful.

Thanks

Does the .def file have any DLL (or for that matter, does the program that makes .def files have any DLLs)? If it does, import it first to VB..

no there is no dll file. the def file is simply to add functionality after scanning an image and its associated data into an archive. The def file has already been written. I was hoping to somehow export some variables from the def file into either a vb file or the associated vb configuration file so that this information could then be added to a database. The process needs to be done automatically from scanning an image.
