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...

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! Cory -----Original Message----- Subject: Printing... From: Stephen Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2002 10:37:50 +0200 X-Message-Number: 1 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.
