I figure most people will know more about this than I. I have created a nice spreadsheet that is fairly large (visually), and I want to be able to link to it so that people can see it when they click on it. Short of having it hosted to be accessed for download all the time. can we have it open up when someone clicks on a link we post up here?

The information in question will be archived soon, but maybe there is someway of making a snapshot of the file that would fit within the phpbb parameters.

So, to paraphrase all that I have just muttered to you guys is this:

- Archival bound post to come with all the models shipped in the JDM market, USDM and such is to follow.
- Want a post that will show a picture of an XLS document or (better yet?) open it up for the user with a hotlink button to "whatever" offsite/onsite hosting area for documents that don't fall under the nature of the gallery section.

Am I swimming up a crick with no paddle? I wish I had paid more attention in programming class at high school, but Pascal was not a fruitful programming language. lol I'll bug paulmezz if need be, but we'll see where this goes from here. IF someon wants to see the document thus far, email me at timeagles "at" rogers "dot" com.

I got it to run but I have one problem: I do not have a printer on my computer! Do I need to install some drivers to fool it, or do I need the printer actually inline to facilitate some sort of memory area thing? I am a little confused here. Thank goodness the have a logging feature to show you all the errors that are made. :butthead:

Alright, so I installed a printer that I don't have, and windows luckily had the drivers built in for a Xerox XXX and voila, I can now print the documents. I just have to get things so that they fit within the page requirement of printed material. I've got lots of overage coming onto additional pages. Nice tool though, very handy. Cheers guys. 8)
