Yes you can. I used to generate HTML reports from Excel and VB Apps all the time.

HTML Reports are just text files, so construct the output in the normal way by writing text files using standard HTML markup. After all what is a DataGridView? nothing more than a fancy table.

So start by putting out the standard header;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

Then iterate each row and col of the datagridview making up the table as you go;
<TABLE>
<TR><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR>
<TR><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR>
</TABLE>

Then close the report
</BODY>
</HTML>
