Dreamweaver - is a great product,-there is almost nothing you cant't do with it.

but unlike Mark, and Barbara, my choice for connecting vfp to the web, is x-works.

It does not have all the bells and whistles which west-wind has, But considering the sytle or programming which is necessary, I found it to be just the thing.

http://www.w-works.com

Somehow, you need to render the pages in html merged with vfp data. One other place wich does just that is htmlmerge. which you can pick up for free.

I just started using Codecharge. its interesting,

http://www.codecharge.com/index2.php

it will create generic code - html code for you, as a starting spot.- it writes code which works with odbc - data (vfp can do that) and will write out your scipts, either in asp type code, or php. (from their site ) Any relational database, including Oracle, Sybase, mySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Access that you can connect to via ODBC, JDBC, or ADO.

Maybe its because I have some experience with odbc, but i was able to get their demo running and creating web pages in just abot 2 hours. - fully functionl web applications, with add- delete, administrative functions, search. . all the basics. the output - asp or php or html style code, is easy to further edits with dreamweaver. - basically it generates very plain vanilla type odbc code..... but for me, it takes some of the headache out of the data process, and allows me to create good looking UI knowing the underlying code it solid.

Just my pointers for the day.
p.s. there are two other vfp - web connections, beside x-works and west wind, which seem to be popular.

afpweb.com
foxweb.com

From what I can tell whatever the programmer likes, they all appear to work, no one that I have heard has ever said anthing bad about any.

>A client of mine has asked if they can incorporate one of their VFP applicaitons into their intranet. I said, of course. They use Dreamweaver, which I have just begun to use. Can anyone point me to a good starting place for information on how they can link their VFP databases to their web pages? I've been building distributed applications for a long time, but I'm a real rookie here.
