>>We have a large personnel database that we need other locations to be able to both read and write too. I'm pretty experienced with VFP 3.0 (i think atleast), but new to 5.0. So does 5.0 allow me to do this and if so, how? Does it have it's own "WEB Server"? I would rather have only the data on the WEB and let the applications reside locally if possible, however, I'll do what it takes. THANKS in ADVANCE!!

Thanks Michel,

What if I just put the data on the WEB and point the applications to the data via ODBC drivers, would that work? We are very limited on what we can do on our WEB server so I need to keep it real simple without having to add much. I know my server OPS guys and they would be none-to-please about having to add anything like x-Works or WW Connection to it. Can you help? THANKS in ADVANCE!!!!
