Hi, Bhavbhuti

>[snip] any other alternatives to WW-Web Connections?

You can use Web Services for this. It is not very difficult. You'll have to familiarize a bit with the basic setup and configuration of an IIS, not much more.

You can read this article about publishing Web Services in VFP8:

Also, you may check this article of mine that shows how to do a basic remote server, that can be easily converted to a Web Service:

Hope this helps,
