Hi all, hope you can help,

I am a teacher and as part of a project my students need to export
microsoft access reports as HTML files. The reports have to include
corporate logos and be formatted to look suitable for an intended
audience.

The problem is that once the reports are exported as HTML files all of
the formatting is lost no matter what encoding is selected. It also
does not show the logos inserted into the document.

Will the pupils need to open the HTML reports in Dreamweaver and modify
them again? Or is there a way of keeping the formatting?

Thanks for your help

The ONLY built in export format that retains graphical elements is Snapshot
Format.
 
Thank you for your help.

The project specifically states that the report must be in HTML format
so I guess creating a snap shot file is out of the question, but thanks
for your time

Cheers

Is it possible that whoever set the project is aware of this and wants your
students to find a work-round, e.g. by writing VBA code to output the
necessary HTML directly?

Something that might be worth trying is to use Stephen Lebans's Report
Utilities (www.lebans.com) to export the report - with graphics - to RTF,
import that into Word, and then save as HTML.
