>I am using a commercial server to run an develop CGI and ASP applications. I don't have any control over the server. I was shocked to discover this weekend that I could upload a VB6 EXE and run it in my CGI directory. To get output I simply write strings to STDOUT. Far too easy!

I don't know the answer to your question... but, running a Fox .EXE is 'almost' as easy. However, your web server needs to support ISAPI. If they do you can use FoxIsapi.dll to run a VFP automation server. Which would require your host provider to register the .EXE. Which you may be able to do remotely.

If you do figure out how to run a vfp exe directly as a CGI program, let me know.
