This may not be teh exact right forum to ask about this, but I figured you all may have come across this.

We use the Access DB online for a website ... the site uses the data in a pretty fundamental way and all is well for screen display.

The issue I want to get around is the fact that outputting a report using HTML/CF creates a page of data that prints on multiple pages ... this data sometimes gets cut off at the bottom of a page, and it is a continuation of data ... it doesn't end up with headers etc on each new page.

I like the reports we can generate from within Access itself, but as far as I know there is no way to process those types of reports from Access via the internet ... and especaially not dynamically (data changes all the time).

Is there a way to output reports of that style and quality, using dynamic data, over the web??

 
There is a facility within Access to export to HTML using a template. Perhaps that is what is needed.

I'd be very interested in hearing other solutions. I've used snapshot format in the past, or converted to pdf documents, to maintain formatting of reports.

cheers.
