Thanks for this article. I know that I will make use of this method. I'll give it a 5!

A follow question...Is there anyway to control the IE header and footer via css???

Thanks again.

There isn't a way to control the headers and footers strictly in CSS in IE. However, there is a way to create print templates, which requires C++ and can be used in any application that hosts the WebBrowser control (such as IE). I haven't read enough on this topic to figure out its usefulness on "web pages", but if you wish to read more, you can find this here:

This is very helpful. How many work-arounds have I suffered through to give the client a good print of on line data. Thanks!
