Wayne, FYI, you don't necessary have to "navigate" to a page. This is another option to print without a file on disk.
this.parent.olecontrol1.navigate("about:blank")
do while not this.parent.olecontrol1.readyState = 4
enddo
this.parent.olecontrol1.document.write("<html><body><table border=2><tr><td>x</td></tr></table></body></html>")
this.Parent.olecontrol1.execWB(6,0)>>Does anyone know how to render HTML contained in a memo field of a table on a report? IOW, I don't want the actual text of the HTML printed, I want to see the rendered HTML in the report.

>>I tried putting the HTML into a General field with IE as the OLE object, the idea being that I could use an OLE object in a report to show the rendered HTML. I tried the following code:
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.
