Can you display a webpage on a report?

[option]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to print a document from a web browser control in my form, but I need to lay a label or textbox over it with todays date. Example: I've searched Google for "car parts". I now need to print the results page with todays date in the top right corner. Is there a way to link the contents of my web browser object to an unbound object on a report?

Thanks!

i'm not sure if you can, but you could snag the picture with the SNAGIT program, and then put that picture in an image holder???

Try create a form with a Active X Web Browser control and use that to print?

That's what I currently have in place, but that'll only print the contents of the web browser (which is great), without the date overlay I need. I'm trying to automate a process in which an employee takes a print and manually stamps the date to it. I'm not sure how possible it is, but I'm sure theres some way to do it.

Ah
Even if you print the form and not the contents of the browser?

I haven't tried printing the form. I'd like to avoid that since what we need is the document that would be displayed in the web browser control with todays date "stamped" on the document itself. Sort of like a "photocopy" of the original, with todays date "stamped" on it. The only solution I can come up with is saving the image to the network, with the date being part of the file name. Although it isn't practical for our needs, it seems like the easiest solution.

ajetrumpet - could what you suggested be automated to have little to no user interaction?
