Josh,
I've been taking the same approach writing ASP code as I do with Perl, i.e.
to use HTML templates and then have the VB program substitute in info as
needed. This has a handy bright side for you and your clients which is that
the program functionality is separated from the look and feel.
So you could have a program which reads in a template in which you've coded
a repeating element and then read the required files and have the program
put those in place of that element. Something like this code :
Function subIn(bfr,vbl,Name)
Dim buffer,loc,rLen
buffer = bfr
loc = InStr(buffer,vbl)
Do While loc > 0
buffer = Replace(buffer,Name,vbl)
loc = InStr(buffer,vbl)
Loop
subIn = buffer
End Function
You can see the entire example at

since I'm used CSS and no tables.
