Can I show a web page in a report?

[ThomasAJ]

I want to be able to print a Google Map as part of a report concerning
properties.

As the MS Web Browser control does not render itself on an Access report,
the short answer is no and the long answer is, well...long. You can use COM
to request the Browser control render a low res bitmmap copy of itself. I'm
not sure if I have posted the code in the NG's before but I think I have.
It's really not a viable solution.

A better solution might be to to render the pages directly to the printer
from a Web Browser control on a hidden form.

Thanks Stephen
you said "You can use COM

I have searched this forum and your website but cannot find any such code.

Any chance of posting it. I would love to play with it.

Hi Stephen

I would like to offer you payment to write some code for me. I can pay up
front if you like. (I have also sent this request via 'feedback' from your
website.)

The solution does not have to be based around a 'traditional' report. I want
to be able to print the Google map in a 'page at a time' context. ie the user
clicks on a property in my DB and the map of the property prints out. So it
can be via a form or a report. Does not matter.

Anyway, even if you are not interested I would appreciate a response either
way.

Many thanks
