John, if you've already got the VFP code to do this, why not just create a VFP mtdll COM server that you can call from ASP? We actually do the same sort of thing with our ASPvote product - export to comma-delimited. Check out:

All of this is done with a VFP mtdll (pure VFP code).

>I'm developing a commercial web site and one of the requirements is to convert records from a VFP DBF into a flat ASCII file. I have the code working in straight VFP 7, but I'm not sure if I should make this into a web service through VFP or just rewrite the code in an ASP/VB Script file.
>From what I've been reading, it seems there are many gotchas and pitfalls with publishing a web service. I'm especially concerned because a third party will be hosting the web server so my access to tinker with the server will be very limited.
>So I'm inclined to just write the ASP code. On the other hand, I would like to learn to use this new VFP 7 feature. What are your thoughts on this?
>Thanks,
>John
