Default Creating printable reports from an ASP application

Hi,

Is there a way to create a Word document from a database, via an ASP web application, and open it in the browser?

I have an application that needs to report data in a printable way. I know I can use Crystal Reports, but would rather find a simpler way if there is one.

Please can you help?

Thanks.

James

Hi James,

Would you mind posting your question only once, instead of cross posting in multiple forums? Your message will be read anyway. Cross-posting is a waste of bandwidth, a waste of time (you'll need to read each individual message) and it makes it a lot more difficult to create a good thread that has all the answers....

Cheers,

Imar

A 0.2 second search at Google for: Create "Word Document" ASP revealed this:

http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=1727

and this

http://www.codeproject.com/asp/wordform.asp

and this

http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/...html/aid/14659

and.... no wait, I guess you get the point.

If you want to report with Excel, take a look here:
