Why does AutoComplete work in some forms and not others? Probably because the author of the web page disabled it for one form and not the other. It's possible to include AUTOCOMPLETE = "off" in the FORM definition to do that. MSDN has a good overview of autocomplete in their online library.

Can I extract more information from a DLL to see what it's about? In What's this DLL I discussed several techniques to explore what application a DLL might be part of. An additional trick I did not mention there is to look for all the text strings in the DLL using a utility such as strings from SysInternals. Be sure to run it twice: once for ASCII strings, and again for UNICODE strings.
