This message has been marked as a message which has helped to the initial question of the thread.
Are you talking about ASP-VB scripting or using a VFP mtdll called from ASP? If the latter, you could take a look at http://www.activevfp.com/avfpdemo2 . It includes examples of searching and sorting, sessions, etc.

>The data could be described this way:

>Category (so far, we defined 3 category, but we may add one or two more)
>Address part - all records have them
>Date - (in our system different categories have different field for this)
>----------------------------------------
>Now for each category of data there is a set of fields (properties), which define this category.

>=============================
>In our system, written in Visual Foxpro, we have one table, which describes all data (all types) and several Lookup tables, used to expand coded fields.

>I need to organize this on the WEB. I need to be able to search by address, by date, by category (but may search across categories) and by name [we have 5 name fields - for category one only one name is used, for two other categories we may have up to 5 names - different fields]

>   MainInfo table - all records
>   ID
>   Only Address Part
>   SearchDate
>   Name1 - exists in all categories
>------------------------------------
>   Category2 table
>   ID
>   Additional fields
>   Coded fields expanded
>------------------------------
>   Category3 table
>   ID
>   Additional fields
>   Coded fields expanded
>---------------------------------
>   AllNames
>   ID FirstName LastName NameDescr
>
>--------------------------------------
>This means, I will need several recordsets returned, if I'm searching in all categories.

>What do you think? I'm also considering one flat model, as we currently have.
