Hi John,
What would you consider to be a good resource for learning how to tie VFP into a Browser front-end... And asked with a slight twist... Is there a resource available for learning VFP 6 and internet stuff? I need to learn this for work and don't know were to begin.

I have been seeing more and more reasons to go n-tier with a browser at the front-end and SQL Server/Oracle/DB2 at the back-end. Usually the middle tier gets done in either Tuxedo, VB, VC, VJ.
