Introduction
The VertekHTML (c)  Table Generator is an OLE server written with Visual Basic 4.0. It was designed to be used with the Microsoft Internet Information Server's Active Data Object, but it will work just as well with any Data Access Object (DAO) Recordset.

Writing code to generate tables on Active Server Pages can be cryptic and difficult to modify. VertekHTML (c) allows the programmer to setup and modify tables by setting properties as you would any Visual Basic control.

This program was written as a proof of concept. It provides all the flexibility I need to display the tables required by my HTML reports. Any suggestions are welcome. Currently, I'm working on adding unbound features to VertekHTML (c).


Installation
1. Unzip the file vtkhtml.zip to a temporary directory.
2. Run setup.exe and follow the installation instructions.

In order for VertekHTML (c) to work with Active Server Pages, it must be installed on the Internet Information Server machine. Also an ODBC data source entry for the database you wish to display must be registered on the Internet Information Server machine.


Sample Files Included in zip file
These files will help illustrate how to use VertekHTML (c).
sample.bas	Visual Basic 4.0 file that uses the Northwind sample database from Access 95.
sample.asp	Active Server Pages file that uses the pubs sample database from Microsoft SQL Server.


VertekHTML (c) is available on an "AS IS" basis, without warranties or technical support of any kind. The entire risk of quality and performance belongs to the user of this free product.

VertekHTML is freeware and may be distributed freely also on an "AS IS" basis, without warranties or technical support of any kind.

Although not formally supported, I will try to send periodic emails which answer common questions and address common requests. Send email to:
