>>I've made some reports which output HTML (well, back in FPD, but I'm thinking of repeating that in VFP), and it worked just fine, except one glitch, which I never found out how to do: eject page when I want it when it's sent to printer.

If you can use Style Sheets though, look at the PageBreakBefore and PageBreakAfter properties. Note- I don't know if either one of these properties will be browser independent.

Well that's good news. If it's capable of doing it in at least IE4 (and I'm using Netscape 4.5 and it recognizes style sheets), we're in the saddle. I'll check that with my local HTML gurus, or just find an appropriate RFC to read. Thanks.
