Hi Randy. OK, in order to serve HTML tables in AutoPlay Media Studio (Pro Edition), we use the "Web Object". Using this special object, we can serve HTML content of any type, i.e. tables, text, images, and we can do so locally (on the hard drive) or remotely (from the net).

The best way to serve a single table in this context is:

1. Create an HTML file which contains only your table, and add it to the "Docs" folder of your project.
2. Place a web object on your page in AMS and point it to this HTML file.

That should do exactly what you need. Note that you can do the exact same thing with an HTML file form the internet also, just change the URL you type into the web object's propertes dialog. Hope that helps, just let me know if you need more help on this one.
