You could either use COM/COM+ or you can develop your application to act like a web application with a fat-client user interface.

This web application would use a VFP application in the client side. This client application will read/write data by passing messages (via HTTP) to another VFP application in the server. This server application will do the actual read/write of the data to the VFP tables.







>I am doing basic research on what way I want to take my management system in the next few years. I am trying to avoid MS SQL Server because of the cost. I am trying to come up with a way to run a VFP exe on a server that will process requests for data from 5-15 PCs. Is there a way each PC can send a request to the server? I know I can have the server app look at a DBF every second or so and run a process based on whatever I put in the DBF, then write out a result file that the PC can pick up. What I really want is to find some way of directly sending a signal from one VFP app to another on a different PC. Or is there already a way to write a VFP server program?
