You what you're saying is that your current application does not already provide any way of viewing all the comments of a case, right? If it did, then you should be able to simply choose the "print" command from the browser when viewing that page of your application. If it doesn't, then I wonder why you're not adding that feature directly to the application instead of trying to make it a separate program. I assume your Web application already has a means of displaying at least one comment on the page, right? Can't you just use that mechanism to display many comments on a page? >>> So, can one of you gurus tell me: >>> Is there any way I can read a file directly into a tWebBrowser? >> >> When you call the Navigate2 command, give it a file name >> instead of a Web address.

I guess what you wanted was really how to load arbitrary content into a TWebBrowser, without necessarily having any file present at all. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
