Thanks Mike, for all the help.

Stupid mistake... it's either tired or old age... :)

I'll give it a fresh start tomorrow morning.

It's now working fine. Thanks again.

I've attached the plugin because I was wondering if it might be of interest to others. Of course it depends a bit on the user's names/definitions of the meta-fields, but I've put them as variables in the plugin.

Actually I would like to combine this plugin with my other plugin (WieWasWie DEA) that reads a certificate copy on the clipboard and fills in all the template fields from there.

Can I, and if so how, during execution of the WieWasWie DEA show a field to where I can drag the file of the scan? Like what I now do by hand in the Media tab.

Have a look at the Iup canvas control.
