>I think your biggest decision here is VFp front-end vs. browser front end. How complex must the user interface be? Beyond the scope of HTML? If not, a browser front end might be easier to build. OTOH, if you need significant functionality in the front-end, or the server data has to live side by side with local data, a VFP front-end is the way to go. Go to
www.west-wind.com and read Rick's articles about HTTP distributed apps. This will give you an idea of what is required to get the communication going. Also read up on DCOM.
How do you get DCOM working? *Does* it work with VFP? Or must you resort to Remote Automation?
Thanks!
