That table has almost 13 to 14 columns, so while printing,
that page spans to more than one page.
All data can not fit into one page and remaining data is lost
and is not getting printed.
Is there any silution to make this remaining data printed on another page or to get all this data get printed...
THis is very urgent requirement...

Can you please help me as soon as possible

Thanks in anticipation

</style>

HI,

Is there any way so that we can specify and tell the printer to print forst 4 columns then on next page print next 4 columns etc.. programmatically??

you should identify your table to style sheet first.

@media print { .MyTBODY {zoom:0.5;} } assumes you have <TABLE CLASS=MyTBODY ... declaration.

style above would force IE to shrink table with CLASS=MyTBODY when printing, so it might be printed just fine on single page...
