Hi Tom,

On ths issue of web access : We have a large VFP database and front end which we install with users. We would like to split this by putting the database on our web server and developing a VFP front end and install that only with the user. Any suggestions ? Can you cc a copy of your Thread reply to bfanet@solo.pipex.co.za ?

Later
