Morgan,

Another alternative is to download Web Matrix which is FREE also from http://www.ASP.NET

This program lets you build web pages using OLEDB connections to data. It will use IIS if you have it, but it comes with its own mini-web server so you can develop and test your web pages on your desktop.

>Yeah, HTML is a Markup and you can't do any programming in it. It is markup only. Now, It MAY, just MAY be possible to have a set of LOCAL html files, that run javascript, that you run from your file system via Internet Explorer and may be able to connect to a Local database. But WHY would ANYONE want to do that?

>WebServers, like Apache are FREE, just download it and get it. I really don't understand what you want to do, with the application at all. If the Database is Local, then just Open up Fox and view it that way.
