Hi Greg
I added my name to the DBF but was unable to save the word doc
Interesting!
Regards

>Did you ever want to have a DBF that would be accessible from *anywhere*? It’s now possible, and it’s as easy as mapping a drive. Try this from a DOS prompt. (Or use Windows Explorer to Map a drive.)

>On the server end, you are connecting with a site that has been set up to support WEBDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning). In this case, the server is Win2K3 running IIS6, but other web servers also support the WebDAV protocol.

>On the client end, Windows XP supports WebDAV, as well as other OS’s such as OS X. Earlier OS’s can also support it through specific clients, such as Office 2003 which supports it directly.

>Once you have a mapped drive (you can also map it through Windows Explorer) simply open up VFP and USE the test DBF that I have left there. You can also open up the MS word document, add your name to the list, then save it. It works as if the mapped drive was local. You can mess around with the docs there, add your own or whatever. I will leave it up for a while.

>Note that if you just click on the above link in a browser, you will see the files on the site, even open them, but you can't save them directly. But if you map the drive, then it's as if they were on your local hard drive, or a network drive.

>Let me know how it goes, ie what OS's could connect, any problems you have. There is more to this, ie you can use SSL for security with it etc.
