Hey Rick,

I have a "potential client" who wants to have a form that will allow users to enter information and then be able to upload an image file. I looked at the dhtml form rendering, but felt it would be too limiting so I wrote the program to be very simple. I create a form in VFP and drop all the controls from the DE, then save the form. I pass the program the scx, the dbf and the output file name. I get a "pure html" document with checkboxes for logicals, edit boxes for memos and text boxes for everything else. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I create a two column grid with the labels in column1 and the form fields in column two. I then paste that into FrontPage and move things around like I want them. I'd be glad to send you the code if you want to "clean it."
