HTML from Access report

I have an application that produces medical reports for a
laboratory. I need to generate HTML files so the reports
can be published on a web site, however I have discovered
(and read) that just using the Access export feature to
HTML does not really produce satisfactory results.

I would like some advice on the best way to approach this
problem. I can't just publish snapshots because there is
a requirement that the client be able to cut and paste
the data. I am considering creating VB code to actually
write the HTML code, however I have NO experience with
HTML and expect that this would be fairly tedious! Are
there any other techniques that I could used to
accomplish this task?
 
Barbara,

Check out Auerelia Reporter at www.aureliasystems.com. The product includes
a print driver that converts output to HTML. I have tried it and it does
what it says. You get all formatting, pretty much like saving to a snapshot
file. The one issue I see, and I haven't really probed for a workaround, is
that multi-page reports print as one html page

Corretion to my previous post: there is a page break setting under the
Navigation tab on the Interactive Setup dialog that appears at print time.

I just wanted to say that this is the best reporting
system I have come across thus far. Thank you.
