Printable Report
I have an ASP.Net app that the user can add and edit data within an Access database. I'd now like to set up a search function that will allow the user to select from different dropdown menus representing seperate fields in this database and search within these parameters. Using datalists, I am able to format these reports perfectly, but due to my 700+ pixel GUI, they are not printable. Ideally, I want to have my search parameters in my GUI and once the user hits the "View Report" button, have a new page open with the appropriate information laid out in a table sized for printing to an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper sans the graphics. Here's my questions:
1. What is the standard size for a printable HTML table to be used in a datalist?
2. Should this table be centered or aligned left?
3. Can I disable the URL info that Internet Explorer prints at the bottom of each page with code so it appears as a normally printed document?
4. How the heck do I pass the variables from the GUI page that has the info and the "View Report" button to a new page with this properly sized table and the requisite information?
Thanks as always!
