>Thanks, Dave. I gather that there is at least a tacit concensus in this community that the WestWind/VFP approach is the way to go for building a serious online discussion system, as opposed to an ASP-based or other approach.

FoxForum I think is in the midst of redisiging the whole thing with ASP. So am I for that matter :-) And an ASP solution could mean (and does in my case) an ASP/VFP COM solution.

BTW, I'm doing ASP at home, I do use WestWind at work, great tool :-)
