I have created an ASP App that seems to be working well.
I can get the data out of the Access DB and displayed in screen fine.
But instead of sending it to the screen, is there any way I can create the
report and have it saved / outputted as a PDF or word Doc ?
Any links with examples ??
Thanks

Sure.

Simplest ASP method I've found is the ASPPDF Persits component: http://www.asppdf.com/

Tom,
Opening Word and pasting is quite easy, assuming your running on your local
server. Just use Create Object...
set app = createobject("W ord.Application ")
app.Application .Visible = True
app.Documents.A dd()
then paste your data in...
app.Selection.T ypeText("yourte xt")
However, if (as is more likely) you want to open Word on the client from ASP
on the server, it's still possible.
Basically what you need to do is use some scripting (Javascript / VBScript).
Unfortunately I haven't got my code handy, but have a look in the help etc,
sure you'll find something. If you get really stuck, let me know and I'll
try find the stuff I did.

Hi
Just noticed the others posts (switched to OE, its acting daft). Just
thought I'd post the code that I just tried for opening Word on the client
from server-side ASP...
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="VBScr ipt">
sub doword()
set app = createobject("W ord.Application ")
app.Application .Visible = True
app.Documents.A dd()
end sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="doword( )">
</BODY>
</HTML>
In order for this to work, your server needs to be in your "Trusted Sites"
list in IE. However, from here you can write code to make word automatically
print things and close, without the need to create a Word/RTF file first.
Cheers
Dan

Your statement was:
"Just thought I'd post the code that I just tried for opening Word on
the client from server-side ASP..."
And then you posted client side code, no ASP.
However, I usually find it's pretty useless like that, unless you know what
you want to put in word in the first place. Usually, I end up using ASP to
write the VBS function (using Response.Write( "<script language...") etc) to
do what I want it to do (create/print a letter, etc).
That's using ASP to send a static page, which is kind of silly. You
make the server work to process something it never needed to touch,
since this is all on the client.
At the mo I'm using it to create a mail merge based on information coming
from Access. Seems to work fine.
Your sample has nothing to do with retrieving data and merging it on
the client. Which naturally relies on the client being configured
appropriately. In an intranet you may have that luxury, but what if
the poor user is trying to use a system that doesn't have Word? Such
as his cell phone?

tblCourses one to many to tblEvents.
A course may have an intro workshop (a type of event), a mid course

future.
At the moment the printed output is usually going to Word. It's turning into
an unholy mess, because I'm having to prepare umpteen different Word
templates, and the queries that drive them, depending on what events a
course has.
