Yes - you set the server to localhost and run your VFP COM, ASP, and other stuff just like it was connected to a real server. Claude Fuchs has a package ActiveVFP (and a demo page) the allows you to do server side VFP stuff. UT even has a section on it. He may still offer it as a free download. Also, Rick Strahl has some great white papers and products you may want to check his stuff out. And if you persist and groom your questions, we have some other very knowledgable UT participants that have some hard earned insights. It's almost an overnight learning curve - but few things compare with the thrill of your first sucessful "hello world" server page from inside your VFP app:-).
