Chris, we use Active Reports bound into a Com Object that is written into VB. Query is generated and passed to the com object as well as some other information. The report is generated by Active Reports into PDF and written to a directory. The diretory and file name are passed back to CF via the COM object and CF/Web Server serves the generated PDF file. Works like a charm! =================================================================== Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 10:02:36 -0400 From: "Christopher P. Maher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: document production solutions Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I'm in the need of some ideas for how to handle printing of documents in a VB program and in Cold Fusion. These multipage documents have to print exactly and cannot have headers/footers from the browser. In the past I've generated FDF files from CF to create a PDF file to send to the web browser. That works fine for the CF side but I'd like a solution I can implement in VB as well. I only want to have one report to maintain to use in both situations. The VB program would be used when people are not connected to the Internet and would run with an Access 97 or 2000 database. The Cold Fusion system would run on a server with IIS and would user MS SQL Server 7 or 2000. I can possibly require IE for the browser but would prefer a solution that works with NS also. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
