The FTP method mentioned earlier probably makes the most sense - you can FTP the data as XML or as straight text if you prefer. On your web page you can have an INCLUDE statement which effectively inserts the text/xml file into the page (rather than the whole HTML document). Depends on your page design.... If you have a decent web page designer, they'll know how to do it - otherwise you have a little self-teaching in your future.

Instead of FTPing every 5 minutes, just check the local tables for changes every 5 minutes. That way, you'll only trigger the actual upload when something has changed. If your data can be broken down into pieces, you'll only have to upload the pieces that have changed instead of the whole magilla.

If you design the process, you can cut transfer file size and time to a minimum - but I'd definitely get the off of dialup if possible.

>Hi. I have a requirement where i need my Foxpro Application to send data to a web page automatically. My client wants to app to "post to the web all part #'s and prices, every 5 minutes". The problem is that they do not manage their own website, so they would have security concerns about running IIS.

>From what I've read, the request needs to come from the web (to view some prices perhaps), and then it needs to request Foxpro to query the data and return it. How would they configure this within their existing web, currently they have a link that calls up a webpage. I'm a newbie when it comes to 'thinking and integrating with the web', so please be gentle...
