>>>If this is only one process that you need to execute, then, I would suggest to only compile that class into a COM object and just invoke it from an ASP page. But, of course, if you want to build an entire application from that, I would definitely suggest to go with a Web framework such as West Wind Web Connection, ActiveVFP and other popular around here.

Rick,

I ran Foxweb sample shipped with VFP 7 under Apache 2 without problems !

FoxISAPI.dll does not require persistence: Apache 2 can load it in each request without problems.
You can also cache it using apache configuration directive to improve perfomance.

So I cannot understand why you wrote that foxisapi does not work.

Maybe you are wroting about older apache (version 1). I havent tested
older versions. According to Apace docs, ISAPI support is
improved in version 2.
It does even support asynchronuous output which is not avaliable in WWC ISAPI implementation.

Customers have different operating systems. I need to install VFP class returning HTML pages to IE
in OSes from Windows 95 to Windows XP.

In my knowledge, some of those OSes do not have free IIS possiblility .
So I desided use single web server, Apache 2 for all cases.
