How do I supress headers and footers from printing. I have created a report page from the database which views with the tool bar only. However when I print, it shows the web location etc which I don't want to display. Please help. Thanks.

Any ideas anybody Please??? Thanks.

Hi Orangem,

These details are added in the browser preferences
(File->Page Setup in IE)
and you can't change it using web scripting.

I have never come across anyone doing that programatically. There are other ways of doing it using a ScriptX activeX script, but it may be blocked by some corporate firewalls, may generate a security alert and the user will have to agree to allow it. So I won't recommend doing that.

If I find something useful (only if you are lucky enough), then let me post that here for you.

Cheers!

On widening my search on exploring this I found something useful(may be a feasible way too, if tested and works fine)

This has got something to do with registry. But not sure if that can be done at all client browsers. I haven't either tried this yet or got an idea to work that out.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup

is where the Header and Footer values are stored. So one can programmatically edit those values and set something/nothing as needed. I may be talking nonsense here as I haven't really tried this.

Let me try something on this in my free time and will post you on its status.

Cheers!
