>>Sorry, I haven't set up a web site to automate anything. I'm doing some work with writing to PDF files (automating the Amyuni driver and using the free Reader) from VFP Report Writer and Crystal Reports--it should work similarly from any application, including Word. But I'm not working on web apps. Based on that, is there anything I can help you with?

You will need to create a COM object (VFP is a good choice :)) to run Word and print docs. because ASP has no ability to add a printer on the fly (that's is what Amyuni is all about). IF are you already running ASP --> VFP COM then you are close.
I do exactly the same thing with PP. Works fine. Let me know if you need more.
