Thanks Cory, I also found ScriptX, but I haven't evaluated it fully yet.

It seems strange that no-one has had a requirement to do reports yet,
without having the dependencies around it, such as having Adobe installed on
the client, or must use X Browser. I'm not too fazed if it's an ActiveX
control. I can do this in Delphi, with no problem, but my concern is that a
lot of the VCL is being included, so you end up with a ~700k OCX...

We use a program by MeadCo called ScriptX. You can see their site here:

www.meadroid.com/scriptx/

The issue that I think you will run into is that only IE 5.5 and higher
gives a user the ability to change printing modes from a script. The plugin
from the company above allows us to do that. Because we are using it on an
intranet it is easy for us to restrict the users (our standard was 5.5
anyway). If anyone else finds another product, please let us know!

Hi Guys and Gals,

I need to ask this genius bunch a question.

I would like a decent printing component (preferably freeware), where I can
generate a decent report and have the ability to change landscape/portrait
modes etc.

My problem is that I have a web page, with a "Printer-Friendly" version
stripped of buttons etc, but it's a landscape report and everytime the users
have to change the mode before printing (and boy do I get it in the neck
when they forget!!). Secondly I'd like more control over my printing,
possibly to generate a decent report, maybe a PDF. If I do generate a PDF, I
suppose then the clients have to have at least Adobe Reader on their pc's.

I would possibly like this to be cross-browser capable as well.

TIA and Regards
Steve
