>>>Another option is to use VFP for COM only and then call the COM components from ASP. I think using ASP with VBScript on the server is your best bet for front end and ADO makes a great data manipulation (via SQL) engine.

I think the reason I tried using it for server side code is the two schools I am familiar with that state it can not be done and the other that says it can. Sometimes it pays to try things on your own and allow "the gods" to do what is pure to them.

Actually, it's Microsoft JScript, not ECMA JavaScript that you're running. The difference is MS JScript contains server/ASP and ActiveX objects etc. that aren't available in ECMA.
