The test app has just one table and from to display 4 of the fields with record navigation and the usual collection of wizard generated bells and whistles. When I execute it from my browser it works just fine....except the text menu isn't anywhere to be found.....actually that's what I expected.

No, sorry. But I know that Rick Strahl has a chapter on Active Documents in his book "Building Internet Applications with Visual FoxPro 6.0". It's under the chapter heading "The Active Document Swindle".

I personally don't see what the point is - it's not like it's a true web app - you still have to be running a fat client on each machine that uses the Active Doc or something heinous (only works with IE of course).

One of the least used features of VFP 6. I think they just put it in to get some oohs and ahhs for the demo.
