Embed Webpages into your program (1 Line of code to implement!) ((IE Only))
It allows you to embed HTML documents into your software and create HTML documents on the fly, without needing a connection to the internet.. I think it's limited to IE. Also - I have not hit the upper limit of the about:HTML method. HOWEVER, you must URL ENCODE the CRLFs and Spaces. One last thing... You can not edit a page once you put it up using this method, but you could use a BeforeNavigate Sub to capture the URL the person clicked on and set variables that way..
