asp_web_howto thread: Printing Reports


Message #1 by "Fred" <fao@t...> on Tue, 24 Jul 2001 00:30:45
Hi.



Has anyone had any experience with printing data.



I have info stored in a Access Database which can be viewed by a user via 

ASP pages.



What I wnat to do is to print report depending on what the user wants.

Using the Browser print feature, just prints a screen dump.



I want to format the print document without the headers, tables, dropdown 

boxes etc ???

use the "onbeforeprint" event handler to hide what you don't want to 

print

and make any other changes (e.g. replace drop-down with text), then use 

the

"onafterprint" handler to put everything back again.  These are very 

quick,

so unless you have an alert or something to stop execution, the user 

does

not see the changes happening on the screen, they just get a printed 

page

thats different to whats on screen.  I'm not sure if these work in 

Netscape

and other browsers though.

Fred,



You can use a VB Com object to call the report, and utilize the access snap

viewer to display the report in the browser and print it.
