Hmmm.. we have invisible I-Frames that can float all over the screen, but we don't have any decent HTML printing system. I can see where that would make sense (The advertising pop-up lobby doesn't need to print, yet!)

Thanks for the ideas, I'll look into the PDF solution. The biggest problem is the client cannot download *any* controls due to the client; so it must be in (d)HTML..

Thanks again..

>>Hello All,

>>P.S. If anyone knows how to turn the header and footer off automatically too that would help; I guess IE considers that a security threat?
