Ok, here's a pretty basic question. Be gentle with me <g>.

We have a corporate web site that needs a data-driven FAQ or knowledgebase page. We'd like to keep the knowledgebase articles in a DBF table, let the user specify search keywords, and produce a results page itemizing the articles. Pretty basic stuff right? Not unlike the UT does itself.

So how do I go about it? We have a dedicated server currently running UNIX. I suppose the first thing is that it would have to be a WinNT box to support a VFP app? Luckily, there isn't much on it now and we haven't moved our main site to it yet so we can reconfigure if necessary.

Are there canned apps that will do this? Is there a particular book(s) I should read? I know VFP pretty well but, as you can tell, I know almost nothing about server-based apps. I'd like to take this opportunity to learn about it but, frankly, I'm swamped with work and would sooner take the easy path if there is one. Cashflow is tight too so I'd hire a UT member if he/she wanted to barter for space on our server.

Also, I'm using VFP6 and don't think that I'll be in a position to switch to VFP7 for a few months, if that matters.

Thanks for heading me in the right direction.

-Bob
