If you want to post some specific questions, we can get you some specific answers. Most VWB questions are usually posted over on the www.west-wind.com/wwthreads forum.

>Is anyone out there using this product and with what success?

Yes there are quite a few users, including most of what you see on the www.eps-software.com website.

>Web connection seems to be much more widely used and supported although more involved. Maybe I should be there? Asp+Vbscipt+Ado instead?

Web Connection is the underlying "web plumbing" beneath the surface of Visual Web Builder. VWB allows you to define various "objects" or "parts" that can be mixed together and reused to build various sections of your web pages, without doing as much coding.

You can do the same things with just Web Connection, although you would have to build your own classes and subclasses of various functions to duplicate the same approach.

That being said, it may well be that with Web Connection you can accomplish your goals quickly and easily by following some of the sample code in the docs and sample programs. You will find that with either product, the ability to debug directly in VFP code, stepping through your code line by line, sure beats the typical ASP-based or COM server-only approach for development ease.

Web Connection, with or without VWB, gives you many varied approaches to producing HTML to return back to the Web Server. Some say it's too complicated, but on the other hand, it does not confine you to just one approach.

Although I work for EPS now, I was a happy WC user long before joining them.
