Hi Joe,

GENHTML is really a cool program. Though, I have found its best uses with data and cursors where you direct the output directly to HTML pages. It takes care of using the same browser etc. Provides you an object reference to an object which holds the actual reference to the browser and exposes lots of properties and methods for manipulation.

Moreover, you can setup your layout in the genhtml.dbf and all your HTML will use the same layout etc. You can even direct queries one after the other in the same document (with some work ofcourse) and you will be surprised with its power.

In a sample app I used genhtml as a reporting engine to create reports rather than using the VFP's report writer.

I would not recomment its use for forms and menus though.
