They have to login to get the report. I am wondering if it is possible to customize the report with the data from the user only when they login? Tried putting a session variable in a WORD document and converted it to PDF... but of course that doesn't work. Could you please point me in the right direction? Thanks so much! Carolyn

You then want to take this online version and make it available as a word/pdf download? _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to winter)

Usually the report is written in WORD first then converted to PDF and uploaded to a password protected page. But I could write it up as a web page (or a Word document saved as an html page). How would i then have that turn be made available as a PDF download... or something that prints like a normal 8/5x11" page? You are amazing! Thank you in advance! Carolyn (in reply to Spooky)

It can be done - but depend what you have already! :)

Im not sure which version login you have, but in the Dev version, you can download the users from the user page as a .csv file (for use in Excel)
The same logic can be applied to any data - it can be outputted as a .pdf file using the same logic.

Im not an expert at that, so I dont know how to format outputs (other than straight text), but Roger may have an idea? or google

A code example is :

	Set objRS = objConn.Execute (sSQL)
	response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
	response.Charset = "UTF-8"
	response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename="&appname&"data.pdf"
	Response.write objRS(...data...)
	Call CloseRs()
	Call CloseConn()
	response.end
	response.clear

But your previous question (was just so brillant) led to I think a simpler solution, which i would like to share in case there are others who need this. This is to customize a report to users with data they have submitted to the system. Their UserID is included in the form fields. I do my session notes (or report) in WORD, leave a highlights for where the session variable need to be inserted later. Paste my session notes into a table on a new webpage and save as the report title. I then add the session variable for the various sections that will customize the report to the reader. Only readers with a login can read the report which is now customized to them with the data they submitted in the first place. The data by the way is collected using UserID in a hidden field. When 50 people or more are submitting information that goes to a common report, this customized method really cuts down the pages, and gives each person their customized slice of the hologram! I may have just lucked out but the page prints just fine too! Carolyn (in reply to Spooky)
