Does it have to be real-time? Or were you thinking of a button entitled "Preview"?

Howabout just save the HTML to a file in the TEMP folder then use ShellExecute or similar to open the temporary file in the user's default browser? This is how most HTML editors do it. [Thanks in advance|Hope I helped you]

Right on, Exodus... that was going to be my suggestion. As long as you don't need to see it in real-time, just open a file, store your html, close it, then do a browser.navigate to that file... should work fine!

Why wouldn't a person use the webbrowser control???

We are using the webbrowser control, vb5prgrmr... but what data are you going to feed to the control? It has to be saved in a file first; then you can use the control to view it.

Well, if you search this site you will see several examples of where you do not need to create a file and then point the WB to it. I'll give you a hint... search for &quot;webbrowser <html>&quot;.

Good Luck

Just to back up vb5prgrmr: no, it doesn't
