>I just took a look at XWorks' home page. The product looks impressive. You're even mentioned (no surprise).

Yes, I was the first one to be there. I did a lot of tests for them. The main server is having Netscape Enterprise and the secondary server is having O'Reilly.

>X-Works recommends O'Reilly's WebSite.

Yes, because O'Reilly was more flexible on the posting problem. This is now resolve for any servers.

>Do I need a copy of VFP Standard or Professional on the server?

If you want to compile, you need Visual FoxPro professional.

>As far as the Excel question, we want the user to be able to run a predefined query or be able to build their own query. The user would have the two options. First, they can have the query results returned an HTML document. Second, we can automatically open Excel on their desktop and send the query results to Excel. Should OLE Automation within FoxPro be used here?

I don't see any problem on the first question. It's up to you to build the engine.

As you Excel, I guess it is possible but why just don't you use the TABLE feature of HTML to display the result?
