>Two companies I have worked for have developed ASP pages that tie into SQL data, as well as a version of the app written in VFP that runs as an active doc launched from the ASP. The ASP also detects if the VFP runtime is installed and installs it if necessary. MS is now distributing EVERY runtime in NT service packs except for VFP, go figure.
Ed,
I have been trying to figure out a way to leverage Active Docs with server side data and it sounds like you have the solution. I have two questions you may be able to answer;
1.) How do you point the app to the right location for the data. When I have tried this it always looks locally or for direct network mapped locations. I want to go after WEB server data via TCP/IP.
2.) Do you have any samples of how you implemented this in the ASP page? Just createobject and show?
Thanks. I was beginning to think this was useless technology.
David
