Hello,

I'm trying to generate reports from a database. A user form would have 3 checkboxes (representing the desired reports) and a list box for the user to select an event to run the reports for.

The form would pass the event variable and the forms select.

My issue is that I want each of the different reports to generate in its own window for printing purposes. Since you can't open a new window with response.redirect, I need to know if there is a workaround or roundabout way to accomplish this.

Any suggestions or sample code would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeremy

you can use the following javascript to open a new window just put the separate reports in three different pages and have the file with the three check boxes popup the windows with the report generating code

put that script at the beginning of your asp page. (right before the '<html>' tag but not in asp delimiters) and call the script with the following code

MM_openBrWindow('yourpage.asp','','')

sample link would be

<a href ="MM_openBrWindow('addressreport.asp','','')"> click here to generate an address report in a different window</a>

Post another reply if you have any other problems

Hope i helped
