>>Anyone know some good resources to learn how to hook VFP to the web? I know WW has a tool for it, but I'm not looking for something to make it easier. I'm trying to learn how to do it. I've found some ASP pages, but if they do databases, it's Access.

>Michelle- I've read through your other messages in this thread and I understand your wanting to learn the nitty-gritty instead of lettting a tool do it all for you. But I must disagree that you don't learn when using a tool.

If you don't know how to do something with HTML, do it in FrontPage and look at the HTML it generates. I didn't know a lick of HTML when I first started; I learned it all from books and tools like FP.

But because I had never used a commercial framework, it took me forever, and the end-product was but a fraction of what it could have been if I had had the insight that comes from using a professionally developed framework. I still use my own framework, but in between the time I started and the no, I have been forced into working with commercial frameworks that truly showed me just how much I didn't know.

Well, I must admit that I'm really not familiar with WC beyond knowing it exists. Maybe it would help, maybe not. Since I can't buy it, it really doesn't matter.
