Todd, I've been playing with dynamic HTML in the past couple of weeks or so and it is really nice . Actually (IMHO) dynamic HTML (+ActiveX) means the only future for VFP on the web is as a cheap and powerful backend (relative to SQL servers) no reason to add the overhead of a VFP form (or VB for that matter) on the browser when you can use smaller Java aplets /ActiveX components and/or HTML tags and manipulate them with the power of a regular app screen Arnon btw Todd, did you see RoboHelp 4 - the company that makes that (blue sky) also has tools for converting RTF help to HTML help they sent me a short book called "mastering HTML based help" (not too serious but I think it is the first on th subject) > >Just finished reviewing the stuff on dynamic HTML and its "surprise" event >model.
