Hi Jordan,

First of all, be aware that ActiveDoc technology has been rev'd out by MS for VFP. So you better not upgrade your version of VFP or your ability will go away.

Secondly, a VFP form running in an IE browser is running as a client form. That means that when it looks for data on the C:, it's looking on the client machine's C: (not the server's C:). If your data is on a particular drive over the network you need to make sure there is a drive mapping on every machine that runs your app (or they won't find the data).

Thirdly, every machine that runs your app as a client in their IE browser needs to have the appropriate runtime installed on their machine.

To publish your app all you need to do is make it the href of a link. The active doc technology will then copy your application down to the client machine and run it in the IE browser.

Good luck!

Hugh

>Hi all,
>i have got an existing application that i want to quickly make available over the internet\intranet. i read up on the ActiveDoc object and compiled it into my application and can now run it in a browser on my local machine. the issue is i don't really understand the implications of such a distributed model. are there risks to this? performance issues i should look out for? security? and what's needed to publicise the application (MTS. IIS)?
