Are the tables on web server to be dbf tables or any sort of SQL/MySql server? In the latter case, establish replication between the local and web server databases. If it's the dbf-to-DB case, then you'd need timestamps on each record of each dbf (i.e. a datetime field which would be set to datetime() each time a record is added, updated or deleted), and a VFP exe which would go through all the tables and update all the records whose timestamps are fresh enough (i.e. after the last update) to corresponding records in the server database. This exe can be scheduled to run twice a day.
