HTA Pages.
What I like about HTA pages.
There was a time I
was satisfied with the html and htm file types.
But then, you
don't need a huge browser to just view an output htm page
after you run a sql
query.
So, that's where the hta files prove their simplicity and
ease of use - they are
light, start quickly and provide the benefits of htm.
You
spool the sql query output to a hta file and open it as a viewer
without
any menu and icon and close it as quickly as you opened
it.
And you could also use it to create web applications.
