What it does is create a single row table for each row of the report and tries to determine the spacing based on the contents of the row. As a result you get very bloated HTML and a series of tables whose columns frequently don't line up. It's often easier to "roll your own" export routine. As an example, take a look at the HTML behind http://www.pngec.gov.pg/resultsNat2002/Report3.html which was created by Exporting a Report to HTML as opposed to http://www.pngec.gov.pg/byelectabau.html created by writing the HTML out to a file one record at a time in code I can send you a copy of the code used for the second one if you are interested. -- Stuart McLachlan Lexacorp Ltd Application Development, IT Consultancy http://www.lexacorp.com.pg
