Need to generate report.

[Guest_imported]

Hi. I have a form from which the user makes a selection from a form. After which, various DTC text boxes update with information from the recordset. The lower portion of the form contains a few other DTC text boxes from a temp table. The user goes in and enters in information - clicks save. I have everything working fine, but now they need to generate a report. I am using the page object which references another asp page. When the user click on a generate report button, the new page takes the string stored into a variable and pulls up the data on this new page.

My main problem is with formatting the DTC text boxes so that only the text shows up - not the grooves surrounding the text. I thought about using a grid control, but the fields need to be aligned in a way that would be hard to do with the grid. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rene

You might try just using plain HTML/ASP, rather than the DTC's - as you only need a tiny portion of the functionality. Or you could use Label DTC's instead.

eg. Plain ASP:
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><%=rsMyRecordset.fields.getValue(&quot;AColumn&quot%>
...etc...

I used your idea to use the DTC labels - and it turned out really nice.

Thanks.
