>My understanding is that Active Document apps "push" the right DLL's and EXE's over to the client machine automatically and registers them but I'm not finding this to be the case.

Nope. ActiveDocs cause only the .APP file to download - nothing else. if you need to support files you have to wrap them into the Application (or tables) and dump them out when the app runs for the first time. It's a major drag.

Furthermore the app runs in Temporary Files, and can be wiped out by the IE
cache mechanism, so storing persistent data there is not a good idea.

>Can anybody lend any insight into how one would go about hosting a site as a VFP ActiveDoc and have the right stuff sent to the client automatically?

Yeah - don't <s>...

Really, it isn't worth the hassle. I think you'll be much happier having people download and install a standalone VFP app...
