Darren, what is a browser control. Sorry, I am a little thick. And is this
control available to all Microsoft Office forms, like Excel userforms too?
It soulds great.

I have to generate some invoices / reports to someone from Excel and I would
really like to spin them out to PDFs then let them be viewable in PDF
through a browser all in one command button but and I am *pretty* sure I
will find the stuff I need on the web to figure this out, unfortunately I
have a deadline of tomorrow.
