>I am in the testing mode of my Foxpro CGI program. From my understanding is the out-of-process servers can still have some sort of visiblity. On a 95 PWS I run a report with my vfoxcgi and it works fine but on NT PWS it hanges. I have not tried it on a NT server running IIS yet. Is it a bug that it doesn't work on NT PWS?

Writing CGI programs with FoxPro is a really bad idea, because VFP EXE files are huge and exert a lot of strain on the system resources as the files load and unload.

Typically you'll want to load your server and leave it running, then indirectly interact with the server...

Your server most likely hangs on IIS because IIS will launch it in the system directory. It'll also launch it with the anonymous user account so it's not likely that your server will be able to access the data unless you give it the rights to do so - huge security risk. Be careful with this...


I suggest you carefully take a look at other options such as ASP or FoxISAPI which both let you load VFP COM objects which is much more efficient as well as several third party tools including one you can find at my Web site...
