Hi Jonathan,

It's certainly possible, but not by any means easy. You would have to write
a server-side app that uses the Word COM programming interface to create a
Word document. You would also have to write something that requests the page
via HTTP, and gets the result as a file stream. The File Stream could then
be programmatically imported into the Word document. Then the Word document
would be returned to the client. Note: This is a VERY simplified account of
what would be needed.

It would require expert programming skill.

Thanks for that Kevin, I didn't think it would be easy - I think my users
will have to make do with the inbuilt "export to Excel" function and do it
from there.

Once again, thank you.

Word (2000+) can open any Html doc
Just have them save the report page as Html and open it in MS Word
