I am using the WebBrowser control in VB6.  I have the box loaded with
HTML and I want to print the thing off, but when I print it, I want to
set the header and footer that show up on each printed page.  In the
real IE, you can do this from the "Page Setup" screen, but how can I
do this programmatically with the WebBrowser control?  Any help would
be GREATLY appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

You can display the Page Setup dialog with

    wbr.ExecWB _
        cmdid:=OLECMDID_PAGESETUP, _
        cmdexecopt:=OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER

To set the header/Footer programatically, I know of no other way than
temporarily changing the Registry settings at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup

with code that ensures that things are always restored, especially in event
of error.

If you do find a better way, I would like to hear about it.

Hi Brad,

if you want to totally automate it, use Sendkey with Barry's tip:
You have control over the information you want to put there...

It's ugly, and locks up the machine like crazy if you call it in a tight
loop, but it's working fine as long as no one is interested in a "clean"
interface... <g>
