Annarita,

Setting the active stations only affected the pass list production, not
the data received or saved.

You could take two approaches:

- rectify each full pass image, from the HRPT Reader, to the region you
want, using my GroundMap program, and then select those where there was
enough of Italy showing to process further.

- use the Active-X component however you want as a satellite position
prediction tool, to see which parts of the pass might be of interest for
you.

This component can be used from almost any language, including from
VBscript at the command prompt.

How you use that is then up to you.

Cheers,
David
