>Dear All,

>My company is having our own domain and we have hosted our site, now I wanted to develop a package in VFP front end and SQL as back end (or VFP tables also fine), The database should sit in the server, and the program will be in local PC, If I connect to internet how can I access the data thru internet?. I don't want to develop the package in WEB based . I wanted to only retrieve and update data over the internet connection.
