append general HTMLNOTES data trim(NOTES) class Shell.Explorer
where HTMLNOTES is the General field and NOTES is the memo field containing HTML. However, this gives a "only insertable objects are allowed in General fields" error.

Just playing around...
I created a form with a webbrowser control on it... put a button on the form with the following in the click;
STRTOFILE("<html><body><table border=2><tr><td>x</td></tr></table></body></html>","c:\x.htm")
this.parent.olecontrol1.navigate("c:\x.htm")
this.Parent.olecontrol1.execWB(6,0)The strtofile would contain your html, and you would not want to put it out on the root of the c: drive.
I am making the assumption that you *only* want to print the html and not make it part of a report with other information.
