Welcome to the boards, reggy. Printing is such a tricky area. With browser differences, printer driver differences, OS differences, etc, you just can't be sure that everyone who wants to print a web page will find the page code compatible with their setup. I'd suggest doing what the IRS does for their oh-so-very official documents — create a PDF file for download nd printing. If the look of the page is important, you can place the important graphics from the web page in your PDF file and get the same look.

I'd use PDF too, but explaining how to print it using the Acrobat print icon instead of the print in the browser menu...or adding a print button to the form itself.

If it is _really_ official like a legal document, you may want to go offer a Word .doc file too.

Thanks Guys for the reply, I also thought about the PDF format so i worte a Postscript file that takes the format of what was on the webpage but i dont know how to query a databse based on a parameter sumited from the page and include it on my postscript. I mean passing a string value into the postscript from the query resultset. I will appreciate a code example. Thanks once again guys.

I raised a cry for help from the other moderators and it looks like we're striking out on this one. Any one else out there with help on passing a string value into a postscript file?
