If you're looking to do this kind of thing 'on the cheap', I'd suggest you generate your HTML page from VFP, and simply download it to your web site whenever it needs updating. It'll give you good experience with HTML coding - and it's easy and useful. You might also want to automate the download process!

To run a VFP app from a web server, you'll need an NT web server (I think). You could struggle through coding all that stuff yourself, or purchase that wonderful VFP based web software to run on the same machine. I've had no experience with this, but may dive in soon.

If the source of your data is from those visiting your site, and you need what is amusingly called 'zero latency' - immediate feedback - I'd look at the web server as your final destination, with possible my first suggestion as a first step. If you're getting the input somewhere else anyway, I'd just stick with the first suggestion.

Let us know how it turns out!

>I am interested in finding out some information about using VFP 6.0 with the web. I have a web page on geocities.com (a free web page hosting service) that lists several hundred names and addresses. I have to keep the information updated manually currently.

>I would love to put a VFP 6.0 database out there and allow them to add/update their own info and have it live.

>I would appreciate any feedback on this subject . . . I haven't used VFP with the web and would like to know the requirements of doing so and whether or not I can use VFP databases or tables without having my own web server . . . . and if so - what I need to do to get started.
