Judy,

There is no way to run a FoxPro application on the web that will make it universally available. I believe Rick Strahl, in his book, had a demo of something that worked like a VFP application, but only with Internet Explorer. I don't know what kind of code he used...I am not sure he revealed this. I would suspect it was VB script.

All web pages are composed of HTML code. "Dynamic" web pages depend on some sort of backend application that communicates with an application or database and generates HTML code that is then sent to the browser.

If you are running a small intranet application, you might try running an Active Document created by VFP; an active document is basically an envelope or container that holds the VFP application and runs it inside the web. There are several catches though. It has been a long time since I looked at this, but I believe everyone who accesses the Active Document will need to be on a LAN where they have access to the data that through a Lan, and not the web. Each user may also need Foxrun installed on their workstation, though I can't remember the specifics.

For a real web application, you have to find some way to generate HTML code. Foxweb is the best tool I know for doing this, but there's no simple shortcut from VFP to the web that I know of.
