>1) It seems that there are really no external static HTML pages to develop the traditional way. The compiled EXE at the server sends all of the HTML screens to the client. Is this true?

Yes and no. In Web Connection you can use template pages stored on disk that
contain both HTML and embedded FoxPro expressions and code. These pages are
read by Web Connection and interpreted and then sent to the Web server through
the ISAPI interface. IOW, realistically everything goes through the EXE yes,
but you can create 'dynamic' pages that contain logic without recompiling an
EXE file.

>2) The pilot app for our intranet is the company's employee phone listings (about 1000 entries). From the viewing point to view, does this sound like something for the WWW search page wizard in VFP5?

I would skip the Wizard completely. That tool is based on outdated technology
and offers almost no extendability. It'll probably do the basic list, but won't
allow you embellish in any way. It's totally unextendable technology unless you
want to reinvent the wheel and build your own framework around (not recommended).

>3) Is there a web development tutorial that comes with VFP5?

No, but you can check at http://www.west-wind.com/articles.htm for several
articles that discuss the basics along with tools available from Microsoft.

>4) Can I create data entry screens (not search screens) for DBF files that will run in Netscape?

Yes. All of the tools will do that since they are all Server Side development
tools that create plain HTML sent back to a browser. As long as you create
compliant HTML it'll run on all browsers.
