Default Generating Letters from an ASP application

Has anyone ever come across generating letters from an ASP application?

We have a form which submits and writes address details to a SQL server
database. Once a user submits this information, we need a process by where a
letter is then generated by the system using the address details in the
databse to populate the letter and then print out the letter.

Has anyone come across anything like this before, and could they direct me
to any code or resources that might be of help.

much appreciate any help on this!

When you say print, do you just mean print on the screen or actually print to a printer? If it's to a printer and you want it automated that could be tough. You pretty much need the user to initiate the print job.

You could generate an HTML page for the user who submitted to print out the info that he/she has submitted. Otherwise, you could generate a PDF using some third party software or server components. Crystal Reports 9.0 is good for generating PDFs on the fly.
