**PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF ABOVE WHEN PROVIDING YOUR BID ** We generate a HTML file, which our VB6 app creates for an invoice. It has a template HTML file, and when an invoice is created, it populates the placeholders in the template with the data for the invoice We use the following methods to perform the printing, depending upon the OS Set IE = CreateObject("[login to view URL]") [login to view URL] local_template [login to view URL] OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER or [login to view URL] (local_template) [login to view URL] OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER But on some PCs & operating systems, we get various errors: Automation error - Trying to revoke a drop target that has not been registered Automation error - Unspecified error Automation error - The remote procedure call failed Please see attached some example HTML files we wish to print We tried a C# solution from another develop but we had issues with the appearance of the print - although it worked, the print wasnt the same We ideally wish to retain the functionality in our VB code but if need to use a latest language due to the limitations in VB6, thats fine We also require the solution, to optionally convert the html to PDF The output print and PDF, must be the same as what would be printed if the user performed it manually on Internet Explorer for example or another browser integration Please ask any questions, and provide your solution to this

Hi, I have read you project description. I am software developer, and I have developed similar apps for printing invoices. Please not, that for future printing in PDF, the best way is that app needs to be developed in C# or VB.NET (your choice). Invoice template (design) will remain the same. Please contact me if interested. Regards, Mladen

I'll develop a sample application for your task in Visual Basic 6.0 that will print the given HTML template. You can check if it works for you. Award me the project only after you are convinced. Message me for your approval, I'll confirm and you can wait for my attachment.

hello, I understand perfectly what you need. I am sure that you have some issues in somes computers because InternetExplorer VB Object depends directly of Internet Explorer program and if Internet Explorer program has some issue in your computer, your app will have It too. I think as a possible solution do a http request and catch the html response, convert It to PDF, save and print It. contact me.
