Androcles,

>is there any way or program where i can publish my program to the web without any hassles???

It depends what you mean by 'any hassles' <g>...

If you're looking for a way to simply run your existing app as is on the web then the answer is no. But there are are a number of ways to get your application online and hooked to the Web. You need an intermediate interface that provides the connectivity to the Web Server. This can be among other things:

Active Server Pages with VFP COM objects
ASP.NET with VFP COM objects

which are free solutions.

There are also all VFP based solutions:

West Wind Web Connection (from my company West Wind TEchnologies)
Active FoxPro Pages
ActiveVFP (based on ASP+COM)

These frameworks will help you get up and running by providing much in the way of useful goo to convert data to HTML and hook up with native objects rather than using more the more complex native COM interfaces.

In all these approaches you will write code to take input from the Web Server, do your processing in VFP code, then write output in HTML (or possibly XML) back out to the Web Server.
