Disable Print dialog box and just Print 1

[compfritz]

I know there is probably an easy way of doing this but my ? is can I prevent the dialog box from coming up and just print the page.Iam looking at a point in my database that when a time value is reach in my PLC(programmable logic controller)the value returned=1 then print()simply put.This will work only if the page is active.I don't even care about this but my bosses do it has to do with total flows at a water plant for a 24hr period and they want it to print it out on weekends.As long as someone dosn't forget to leave it minimized on Friday.

Heh, I know the pain of strange requests for plat reports, I'm actually procrastinating from doing a few right now

Are you doing this in a web page or an application (excel, etc)?

If it is in a web page, you can't. The browser doesn't give up control of the printing process, only allows you to intialize it.

compfritz -

You could write a page that allows your bosses to access any 24 hour period they desire, any time they desire it. That way they could come in on a Monday morning and print the weekend's reports as needed. It's kinda crazy to say, "As long as someone dosn't forget to leave it minimized on Friday".

Write a report page and blow their socks off! You could even have a weekly report with a bar chart..... Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

There is no quick way to do industrial reporting
I wish I was allowed to do mine in html, trade you excel reports for it
