>Hi all! -- I've got a project in the gestation stage that will need to get current stock prices and to look up stock symbols. Is there a web service out there that hosts this information? If not, is there some non-proprietary method for getting the information other than going to some place like E*Trade?

In addition to other responses, Jos Pols has a VFP system that charts stocks, see message #865899.

Also, if your users have a Bloomberg license, Bloomberg Financials has a VFP ActiveX control (search Bloomberg WAPI).
