>I have posted a similar request for advise to West Wind's thread. Hopefully I will get some specific input as to the approach, using West Winds tools. As in, do I require IIS on each application site. Do I create a server as COM or DCOM objects which communicate with IIS via Web Connection. How are the transactions exchaged between the Web Server and the local databases - as HTML, XML, or is there a more direct way to make the data connections.

I saw your message over at West Wind but I'm getting around to answering it here ;-) You're best bet is to download WebConnect (try before you buy) and read through the documentation. It explains how you might go about accomplishing this.

Basically, WC handles all communication with IIS. You use the built-in classes to handle any client requests. Your application can use all the normal VFP commands, so you can access tables directly.
