a quality report.....

[Sunny99]

Hey, the reports on access don't format my information the way I want it to. I am formatting medical information so the report has to be well laid out and put together nicely. I am trying to do a paramedic report. The report has the patients name , and contact info and address. I also includes personal meds and allergies. I have tried inputting / exporting info, but that still does not work all that well. I am thinking of HTML. Anybody got any suggestions?

Yes, it's ease to create an HTML document with VBA. In actualy, you make some replacements in a tamplate HTML text with the values of the desired record(s) and save it as .html.
For example, in this html snippet:

            <div class="animal">
                <div class="animals details">
                    <h3 class="animals name">animalName</h3>
                    <p class="animals desc">animalDesc</p>
                </div>
                <img class="animalImage" alt="animalName" title="animalDesc" src="animalPhoto"/>
            </div>

you have to replace the animalName, animalDesc and animalPhoto with the values of the corresponding fields of a recordset.

I have attached a samlpe db (Animals.zip) in this post:

Welcome to the forum..

I would stick with Access reports - what you want seems pretty simple. Can you attach an image of what you want the report to look like?
