Hello

I'd like to feed data from a MS SQL database to an ASP web page, and then also
have the ability to download it as a (dynamically created) PDF. This seems to
need a component on the server which my web host won't install.

I was wondering if I could get an account on another web host, create the PDFs
there and link to them from the pages on the first host. BUT I can't seem to
feed data from the database on Host 1 to a page on Host 2.

Any brainwaves would be very gratefully received!

You could have a page on host1 that collects the data and outputs it as
XML, then on host2 it uses the XML to create the PDF.
