Re: What are the advantages of HTML output?

[Peter Clark <PGCLARK@VAC-ACC.GC.CA>]

Hi Ragu,

When you do a Save As HTML, the created files are put into C:\TEMP

There will be a series of .HTM files created.

Use your browser to open (File, Open File) the one called xxx_frm.htm (where 
xxx is the name of your report) et voilą.

Before you do that though, you must copy all the .gif files you'll find in your 
SQRBINW\IMAGES directory over to C:\TEMP ... these are the navigation icons 
used if you select "write a separate file every x pages" (recommended) when you 
do your Save As HTML (I recommend you specify 1 page) and will allow the user 
to flip from page to page the way they can in Viewer/

Hope this helps.

Peter

Hi Peter,

We also use the SQR Viewer but have never been able to Save File As "HTML"
document.  Any pointers??  Whenever we try to do this, nothing seems to
happen.

Any pointers in this are would be helpful?  Any settings that need to be
looked at??

Thanks.

LKR
