Ron,

West-Wind Web Connection for some time has included a ShowCursor class that allows easy construction of HTML tables from the results of a SQL SELECT. The latest revision of WC includes the ability to divide results up into pages. (I have not yet used this new feature.) Although WC is a complete framework for creating web-based VFP apps, you could use just its HTML classes with some other CGI product.
