>We would like to check user names and passwords via a database. We could do it 2 ways--by running an exe which does the checking (create a password form in VFP and have it check validity), or by writing the code in some kind of script which will allow us to scan the dB and check the password. If there's another way, we could do it that way too. I don't care how we do it--as long as we do it.

A great deal depends on the web site environment; you'll need a script of some sort even to fire a VFP .EXE (and running a VFP form over a web link takes some work to do.) You need to tell us more about the target environment (web server software, allowed scripting, etc) to answer this.
