Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you can use the PDF Layout Painter in your release but that would be one solution.

Also an HTML page with multiple frames.

Because of the way that AHTML pages are constructed internally, I don't think you'll ever get them to go on the same page without some trickery.

Thanks Ginny,

PDF Layout painter will support PDF format only. I tried using HTMLFORM, even this didnt work.

Any other solutions?

Because of the nature of Active HTML it is just one report per browser page.
You might be able to get away with having two iframes on the page and populating them separately with an ahtml report. Haven't tried this yet, but it might work.

I think that this subject was also asked quite recently?

Your best way forward is as GamP suggests, a separate Iframe for each report. This is becuase the embeded javascript in the AHTML output will have duplicated control Ids and may/will cause conflicts.

PDF Layout Painter's name is misleading...it does more than PDF.

Just to clarify, this is not true in 7.6.x. Chaitra is running 7.1.4. I would not want other viewers to get the wrong idea about the PDF Layout Painter. While it has issues and growing pains, it think it is on its way to becoming a good product.
