Creating HTML Style log files

[nissan240zx]

Hello All,
I want to get a log file out of my process with some pizzaz to it..style..html style.
Thsi is my current code which outputs a .htm file but all formatting is text mode..i mean the vb breaks dont work at all.

'Create Preload Log File
Dim txtStream As TextStream
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
Set txtStream = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\ThorVivek\Thor.htm")

'Rename the M:\FTPFILES\Thor\PRAQ136D-THOR-EXTRACT.D0 file to M:\FTPFILES\Thor\PRAQ136D-THOR-EXTRACT.txt for importing to access - Start

Dim FileName1 As String
Dim NewFileName1 As String
On Error Resume Next

FileName1 = "M:\FTPFILES\Thor\PRAQ136D-THOR-EXTRACT.D0"
NewFileName1 = "M:\FTPFILES\Thor\PRAQ136D-THOR-EXTRACT.txt"
Name FileName1 As NewFileName1
    
'Rename the file to .txt for importing to access - Complete
    
    txtStream.WriteLine "File Copy Start to Local Drive Start" & CStr(Now) & vbCrLf
    fso.CopyFile "T:\ThorBackend\Backend.mdb", "C:\ThorVivek\Backend.mdb"
    txtStream.WriteLine "File Copy to Local Drive End" & CStr(Now) & vbCrLf

Any advice..on how to make it look like really nice and appealing.

Thanks in advance..

I would look into the HTML language itself for a more complete overview. Very simply you can add breaks by using <br> e.g.

txtStream.WriteLine "File Copy Start to Local Drive Start" & CStr(Now) & "<br>" & vbCrLf

For a proper HTML page you would need all of the HTML tags in place as well.

Hope this helps
