Hey Mark,
You can do this and you can bypass IIS and Netscape (web server) entirely. One option would be to use Oracle Forms and an Oracle Application Server. The AS would translate the forms into HTML and Java. All processing would be done on the AS and its browser independent.

If you don't know this environment, get a contractor to do this. It's a real PITA!!

Good luck!

>...by restrictions. I have been asked to develop an intranet application for the Agency I work for. I can not use ASP or IIS. We use Netscape as our web server software on an NT4 server. About the only tools I can use is HTML and VBScript [or Java Script]. I can create, install and execute COM DLLs and VFP runtimes on the server. I will need to run queries against an Oracle database, and send the results back to the browser. I will also need to allow the user to add/edit records and send back to the Oracle DB. How badly hog-tied am I? Am I wasting my time trying to do this under these limits? Do I have any chance of succesfully doing this? I have 2 West-Wind web sites running quite successfully and very easily. So all these restrictions are very disappointing knowing I could do this quickly and easily if I did not have these restrictions. TIA!
