Thanks Jan! The importance of order is slowly coming back to me from one of Ray Pass's papers. BTW, thanks also to Ray, since most of my meager understanding of proc report and HTML is growing from "proc report: doin' it in style" and similar SUGI papers.

For the second part of my question, I'm still struggling to get IE to open a link to a SAS file in the browser window, rather than prompt for a file download.

Below are three links:

1. <A HREF="c:\junk\mymacros\mac1.sas">mac1.sas</a><br> 2. <A HREF="c:\junk\mymacros\mac1.htm">mac1.htm</a><br> 3. <A HREF="c:\junk\mymacros\mac1.xyz">mac1.xyz</a>

If I click the first link, I get prompted for a file download, and then if I click "open" it opens the code in ultra edit. The second link works fine. Even the third link works like I want. I guess when IE sees an unknown/unregistered extension, it just treats it as a text file. Any ideas on how I can get IE to open a .sas file in the browser window, short of copying all of my macros from *.sas to *.htm? When I'm browsing on the internet, if I click on a .sas or .txt file they open in the browser. But when the file is stored locally, they prompt the file download. And this macro catalog will be stored locally.

Thanks again, --Quentin
