Ken,

Pretty simple - Claude has a vested intererst... <g>

All that aside I don't think it would be a bad idea to have those samples in the help file even if they are simple. It would be useful to show how to create a COM object and consume it in ASP and ASP.NET and a Web Service. This is after MS's primary Web platform and not exactly rocket science to incorporate. yes, there will be more detail required beyond a simple one pager, but it's a good place to start.

This shouldn't be a white paper style thing but simple examples of a short page or so. You could then point the docs to the White Paper on MSDN page or other resources like the Task Pane that would provide further info. Even better if you had links that point to MSDN articles or whereever directly (I'll certainly volunteer my articles if you need them <g>, but I think there's already 'sanctioned' content on MSDN along the same lines.)

Web Development is certainly high on the list of things developers will need to do with Visual FoxPro or otherwise.

>>Sounds like a Microsoft policy thing. I don't think it's working though. Not enough developers see this material and it looks like policies like this will keep it that way..

It seems from your messages that your real issue is third parties creating content rather than the VFP team at Microsoft. I'm just trying to get a straight answer on what you want and why to understand your reasoning better. :)
