> How come when I save a simple form in html format, the commands I've issued on the command button don't work. Is there a command or 3rd party software that can convert vfp code to html code?

Hello, Napoleon.

There is no way to transform VFP code to HTML as the term "code" referes to diferent things here.

VFP code is programming code. HTML code is formatting code.

When you save a form as HTML, what you get is a -slightly approximated- equivalent of the visual aspect of the form in HTML format. And it stops there. Most things you do in "VFP code" can't be done with plain HTML.

If you need to make interactive applications for the web, you have to use things beyond HTML, as ASP (Active Server Pages) or some approaches closer to VFP as Web Connection. If you want to figure out how a web application works and how messaging goes between your browser and the sever, you can try the later tool downloading it from www.west-wind.com. Even if you don't end up using Web Connection, setting it up, running the samples, and most importantly, reading the excellent help file (including the INTRODUCTION), would give you a fairly good idea about how things work.

You can continue doing your own research from there, but with a much better understanding.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
