John;
The interface I chose for my apps was the FoxWeb (www.foxweb.com). You can also look at the the products from WestWind. Since I don't have any experience with the WW product I'll just tell you a bit about the FoxWeb. Foxweb (and westwind counterpart product) will allow you to "read" replys from a web page, via a web server and pass the message in a form of a veriable or an array to your VFP applications.
You can run up to 9 sessions of your application and can set up the app to leave the tables open. There are good and bad sides to this. On the good side you gain SPEED by keeping the tables open and running the app. As fast as VFP is, opening a table has always been a slow process.
The down side would be by keeping the tables open, you'd have to close the app (which generates CGI errors on the site) in order to make updates.
Personaly, I like to stay away from any form of Java scripts on a "single PC" web sites, since the PC resources can be limited on a busy site.

Hope this helps

Kia
