John Don't make it complicated. From what I get is that you want the same grid, but without paging. Just make a copy of your webform, disable paging and sorting and get rid of editable columns. That's all. Just link to the new form by adding a [Print] link and you're done.

At least you responded. As I mentioned in another reply, might look at this thru a report mechanism. Then I can add formatting, etc that the users will eventually ask for. Much simpler solution. Thanks.

I showed to several of the users and they both said it is what they wanted. Although, I am having difficulty in getting the PRINT button to work correctly. Below is the line that I have in the btnPrint_Click (asp button) event. It opens up the form with exactly what is needed. But I am not able to get the print dialog to open. I've tried several ways but to no avail. ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "onclick", "<script language=javascript>window.open('ProteusListPrint.aspx','','height=500px,width=800px,scrollbars=1');</script>"); What is missing to open the print dialog box? Also, in the print out in the bottom left corner is the http address. Is there any 'simple' way to hide/remove it? Thanks...John
