Hi Sir Rick,

Thank you for your reply.

This is what we have done:
- a central server has a table containing the different branches together with their geo location (longitude and latitude).
- the geo location data of the branches will be obtained by asking the manager's to click a link that will send this info

Now, our app should:
- when app fires, it is my hope that my VFP app can be able to get geo location (I don't know how), query the server's branch table in order to verify the identity of the branch where the app is being used

You mentioned using a web browser control. Does Google Chrome have this too? Any sample code please?

Thanks
Dennis
