    hello again all,

    I am looking to create a page that will work to create a job sheet. basically I guess I need to create a html form to collect the data i need. Once the user (one of my staff) have entered the information I want, I need it to automatically enter the info into a template and be able to print.

    any ideas on the best way?

    If you had a form that posted to a PHP enabled page that rendered the information on a blank page, or formatted how you would want it to be printed, you can then trigger a print command using javascript like so:

    <script type="text/javascript">window.print();</script>
    Code (markup):
    EDIT: Actually, you may be better linking this to a body onLoad event.
