Pete,

Why write any filePro code to create HTML documents?

Personally, I find it cumbersome to say the least.  This
is what I did.

1. I designed my HTML pages using easy to use HTML designer
   (your choice)
2. I placed fields and variables where I wanted filePro
   content to appear using &fp### and/or &fpVAR
3. I wrote a routine which then parses my source HTML
   document and plugs in content according to &fpMACRO
   (if you can call it that!)

The code does not need to be revised other than to define
and populate variables when needed.  As I wrote it, it works
fine (it gets the job done) but it can use some cleaning-up.
Take for instance, I use xVars(676):aa to capture values held
in dummy variables and then generate pointer using simple
algorithm instead of simply using value() function.

I do not want to trouble the list with sample of this code
but if you guys want a copy of it, just let me know and I will
zip it up and post it here.
