Steven,
You could check out the FOXISAPI examples that come with VFP6. I myself prefer writing VFP web apps as MTDLLs that are called from ASP (asp.dll to vfp mtdll). This is probably the fastest option since you have 2 DLLs talking to each other (Now that I think about it, you might be able to use MTDLLs with FOXISAPI too. There you would have the foxisapi.dll talking to a VFP MTDLL).This technique basically involves putting your VFP app logic into OLEPUBLIC class and calling the methods in it from the browser client. It's all really very simple despite how complicated it may sound. For the most part, other 3rd party solutions involve an isapi dll or .exe(CGI) client talking to an .EXE server which probably aren't as fast or efficient IMHO. Good luck!

>Thanks for responding. I have written several VFP apps but am brand new to web apps. I like to start out simple so I can try and grasp the concept then expand on that foundation. I don't have continous connection to the web. My IP address will be dynamic. I am running my PC on Win2K. None of my app are web enabled. I thought maybe I could develope a new simple app that would be web based to gain the required knowledge to maybe expand my existing apps the the web. With all this in mind can you help?
