Well Printing To HTML (not Printing A HTML Page)
How would I take a group of database records and create a HTML page from them (I would like to do without going thru Access, if possible)...

Basically, my real goal would be able to print custom reports I made user Printer.print and then give the user the option as saving this report in HTML (WYSIWYG fromat).

Any ideas? Is this far-etched?

How Do You Out Output From An .asp Into A .html?
I have an html page and .asp file. Half way down the html page I want to insert the output from the .asp. How do I do this?

Here is my html in part:

...
...
Site ID: Atlantic High School</font>
<br><br><br>
<font face="Lucida Sans Unicode">
Currently monitoring 'Chiller 1' at <font color="yellow">N/A</font>
<br><br>
...
...

Where the N/A is, is where I need to put the output from my .asp file.

Here is my .asp file:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim fso
Set fso = Server.CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set rs = fso.OpenTextFile ("d:FTP FolderAtlantic_RealTimeatlantic2.csv",1)
rs.SkipLine
s = rs.ReadLine
= InStr(s,",")
temp = Mid(s, + 1)
temp = Round(temp,1)
Response.Write temp
%>

The temp variable needs to go into the html page.

thanks

HTML Output.
Heya,

I'm currently trying to create some kind of subscription form in VB6.

I'm going to have the data in variable/arrays(name, choices made etc.), the question is : what is the fastest way to output/format the whole thing as a HTML.

When the user clicks "finish" his subscription would be added to an HTML (or any database that you think would be appropriate) file. There would be 1 file per subcription.

What are your thoughts, suggestions, help ?

Thanks alot for your time.

Printing HTML To File NOT As HTML. (See Inside)
OK, I am writing a program that recognises forum markup and converts it to HTML. For the specific forum I am writing it for, HTML goes unrecognised. I've finished the markup conversion code, but stumbled across the fact that putting HTML in the simulated "Post Area" and hitting Preview will actually cause that to be working HTML. Here's what I mean broken down a little.

<font color=red>Example.</font>

This posted on the forum will show: <font color=red>Example.</font>

But on my program it will show: Example.

I've pretty much figured out how to fix this, since if I convert...

<font color=red>Example.</font>

TO

<font color=red>hahaha</font>

It will show up as text just fine. However, here's where the problem is. I need an easier way to track any instance of html used and convert it. I could manually replace all pieces of HTML like above, but that would mean masses and masses of code, and I'd never manage to nail every single piece of HTML around. Surely there is an easier way to do this? Help would be much appreciated.

ASP Easier Than VB - Html Output
Would like to get some thoughts on the following:

With VB, I import info from a text file and put it into Access. Once I have the data in Access, I need to create html reports. I am going to use the html reports both locally and on a web server.

Am I better off creating the reports with asp instead of vb? I know a lot more ASP than VB and it seems to me the easiest way to get it done.

Maybe I am just missing something and it will be just as easy with VB?

Problem With HTML Output From VB
I'm having a problem with doing some simple HTML output from a module in my VB program.

In my database I have a color stored for each item I wish to display and I want to make a single page for each of these items - all with their own specific color background.

In the code, I read in the number into a Long variable and put the line...

Print #1, "<body bgcolor=" & Items(intI).Color & " text=#FFFFFF>"

...into the code. For instance, this item has color 10175753 as its assigned number in the database. When I look at the source for the page created, this is what it shows...

<body bgcolor="10175753" text=#FFFFFF>

...that number is supposed to be a blue background yet a horrible green comes on my screen. The strange thing is that when I take the HTML file to Dreamweaver, the color shows up correctly in that yet just looking at the file in MIE shows the color as some weird color, totally not what I wanted. Anyone run across something like this before and have a possible solution?

Help To Print Html Output
Hi, I have posted this question before, but I am so stomped with this, that I need help. I've searched the web intently for weeks, and still no answers. I am trying so badly print HTML files that are stored on my local computer through vb6. I've used the Printer object. but nothing, here's the code for that:

Code:
Dim Explorer
Dim objPrint As Printer
Explorer.Navigate(txtPath.Text)
objPrint.Print Explorer.Document
Printer.EndDoc

This was my best shot, but it printed like 2 times but then it wouldn't print at all, and after awhile got a error. My last try was with the a method on the interent I found, but that got me nothing.

Code:
Code:
Dim Explorer As InternetExplorer
Set Explorer = New InternetExplorer
Explorer.Visible = False
Explorer.Navigate (txtPath.Text)
Do While Explorer.Busy And Explorer.QueryStatusWB(OLECMDID_PRINT) <> OLECMDF_INVISIBLE
    DoEvents
Loop
Do While Explorer.readyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
  DoEvents
Loop
If Explorer.readyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE Then
    Explorer.ExecWB OLECMDID_GETPRINTTEMPLATE, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER
    Explorer.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER
   If Explorer.QueryStatusWB(OLECMDID_PRINT) <> 0 Then
        Explorer.ExecWB OLECMDID_CLOSE, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER
    End If
End If

This only printed "[object]" on my page. Next was with the internet explorer control
Code:
Code:
Open "IP_(Printer's IP)" For Output As #1
Print #1, "Hello, world!"
Close #1

If anybody can help me at all, I would graciousfully appriciate it, cause I am so sick of this problem.

P.S. This is supposed to be done every week and have like 3000 html documents to print(and I tried word, but I have word 97, and it gives me an error when I open it up)
P.S.S. I do not need source code, i need the actually output to be printed out

Output From VB 6 To A HTML (or Something) Report RESOLVED
Hi everyone, i hope you are all well..

What i am trying to do is implement a reporting scenario. with the data below as the content, i thought of using textfiles but with that scenario i can't have nice tables. We thought Word might be the go but we think that is overkill as all we want to do is display the invoice if a filename is clicked in a list box.

We had a go at HTML as the output format. The problem with the HTML option is the report uses a textbox and getting a string into it seems tricky..

Next we thought Excel might be the way to go but formatting the sheet in code is horrible.

It would be very nice if we could get the invoice output to look like the Template, which can be seen at the URL:

View The Report Template

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas...

Data of the invoice sent back Via Email from the web based program follows..
(This is the format of the content of each invoice file.

Line Breaks In Output In Textbox And Html Tags
Hi i have a textbox at the top of my form which acesses a MS ACCESS 2000 database table and shows one field(non editable) of the database as we scroll through it.

A couple of our records have "<br>"html tags and html links in them to output the record with line breaks and hyperlinks.
We usually have this outputted to a html web page but would like to put in a vb program.

The text in the database looks like this as an example:
"This is line 1<b r>This is line 2<b r>this is line 3<br><a href-"www.someone.com/this.html">click here</a><br>"

instead of this output i would like for them to appear on 4 separate lines as its displayed. I know i could somehow use the & vbcrlf on the end.

Printing Of Different Printers && Different Output
I have made an invoice form for a company. It layed nicely with boxes (printer.line .....) and printing inside the box using printer.print (tab(x); sString.

The layout looks really good on my HP LaserJet printer.

When printing on my HP DeskJet, the tab positions and size of the font changes.

I am usning Courier Font (Printer.Font = "Courier") because it is a fixed font.

Can anyone explain the differences in the printed output? More importantly, does anyone have a solution or recommendation? The Invoice form must work on all printers that the program will be using.

TIA

Where To Start, Printing Output
I'm accessing a MySql database (through ODBC) and am able to view the contents of a record, edit it, add a record, delete a record, move forward, backward.... all that stuf but how do I go about printing the information. When I have the record i want I would like to hit the print button (print command button I've created.) Do I have to write a text file first, call it back and print or what.

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

ActiveX Printing: How To Print Output On The Same Page?
To keep it simple, I have a print command within my form and one within a custom usercontrol I created. I want the output sent to the printer of both to be printed on the same page. Yet, for some reason when this is done VB treats them as seperate spools and prints them on seperate pages. How do I get them to be in the same spool and thus print on the same page. Example of the code as I have it now. (The name of the component is "UserControlSum"):

'CODE ON THE FORM
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Printer.print "Today's Summary:"
UserControlSum.SendToPrinter
Printer.EndDoc
End Sub

'CODE WITHIN THE USERCONTROL
Public Sub SendToPrinter()
Dim i as Integer
For i = 1 to 30
Printer.Print Output(i)
Next i
End Sub

Specifying Output Tray When Printing Rich Text Box
I have a small program that uses a rich text box that is sized for a label that I wish to print. I can print the rtb to my label printer with no trouble. Now I am trying to print it to another printer, but specify the envelope feeder to allow it to print on an envelope.
Should I be using the selprint method? I am struggling with the syntax.
Can someone provide some insight.

Thanks,

Printing HTML From Within VB
I have designed several forms using HTML code that are currently in use to format emails that I am sending from various parts of my VB 6 application. At various points in the application, I have provided the user with a Print button. Currently, this button simply uses the PrintForm command. However, this is limited due to the fact that the field length is greater than the capability of the form to display at one time. This leads to the user not being able to see all the information available when he prints the form.

I would like to be able to attach the HTML code to the program and allow the user to initiate a print that would then generate a nicely formatted printout.

Using the Printer. print command does not work as it simply spits out what amounts to the HTML source code.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a method to handle this item?

Thanks for the help.

Printing HTML?
Is there a control out there or something that lets me print HTML (not the code, but how it looks in a browser)? My program, PassProg, supports exporting to HTML and printing, but it would be much easier to ditch the printing code and just print the HTML It would look better, too, as my printing code can't do line wrapping?

So, is there an ActiveX control, DLL, whatever or other code to print web pages?

Printing HTML Documents.
Ok.. Here goes..
We are using StarOffice to generate HTML documents.
Using the header and footer options on the pages, Star Office previews and prints the pages correctly.. i.e. With the header and footer on EACH page.

When viewed in the WebBrowser control, however, the tags seem to be completely ignored, and the header and footer are printed as parts of the whole document... i.e. The header is at the TOP of the 1st page, and the footer is at the end of the x page, not on every page, as is represented by StarOffice.

Using a DLL Spy, i can see that StarOffice is using MSHTML.DLL

Is this the DLL that allows StarOffice to use the Header / Footer information?

Here is a snippit of the HTML code being used.

<DIV TYPE=HEADER>
<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=0>
<COL WIDTH=181*>
<COL WIDTH=75*>
<THEAD>
<TR VALIGN=TOP>
.... etc etc etc

<DIV TYPE=FOOTER>
<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
<TR VALIGN=TOP>
<TD>

..... etc etc etc..

Any help would be greatly apperciated.

Which I found here...

My problem is that I have no idea how to use the WebBrowser Object and I can't find a thread that gives me advice. Right now the error I'm getting when I run that code is "Object Required." Do I need to include a component or a reference? Or should I "Dim Webbrowser1 As Webbrowser"?

Printing XML Or HTML Page
Hi,

Does IE provide a similar method for printing? I have been unable to find any way f doing this.
