   Hi Will!

The library doesn't support real tablecreation in the document.
There are special html-functions to put few html-formattings into the document but not for tables.

If you want to do this you have to use the normal draw-functions. It's possible to get a "table-like" output with the library but there aren't real supporting functions to do this.

Cheers, Ingo

	Hello, I need to create PDF document lists "on-the-fly" from user-defined SQL Statements. Here is an example for creating a HTML table. What is the best way to do this using my newly purchased library? Sorry if this is a no-brainer. I am completely new to creating PDFs and this library. Is there a Table element that I overlooked in the documentation? Are there several ways to do this? All input is appreciated. Thanks, Will <-snipped---- <table colspan="6" cellpadding="5" border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th>Show</th> <th>Reported</th> <th>User Name</th> <th>Company</th> <th>Type</th> <th>Number</th> <th>Message</th> </tr> <% ' show the data Do Until oRecordSet.EOF Response.Write("<TR>") Response.Write("<TD><a href='ShowError.asp?id=" & oRecordSet("Id") & "'>Details</a></TD>") Response.Write("<TD>" & FormatDateTime(oRecordSet("ServerDate"),0) & "</TD>") Response.Write("<TD>" & oRecordSet("UserName") & "</TD>") Response.Write("<TD>" & oRecordSet("CompanyName")& "</TD>") Response.Write("<TD>" & oRecordSet("Type") & "</TD>") Response.Write("<TD>" & oRecordSet("Number") & "</TD>") Response.Write("<TD>" & oRecordSet("Message") & "</TD>") Response.Write("</TR>") oRecordSet.MoveNext Loop %> </table> <-snipped----
