Alan, I suggest you host the website using MySQL and PHP or Perl (If you must) but PHP is the nearest to VFP you will find. Then you can query the MySQL database at regular intervals over the NET using VFP to upload changes/modifications from the hosting site. I have done this with a similar on line trade directory system and it works fine.
For the frontend look at Joomla which has an add on Membership system written by a guy down in London which only costs £80 for all the source and lifetime support (I'll dig the details out if you are interested) or even XOOPS which is extremely adaptable. Both the packages are open source with full source code.

We have a client with an existing networked membership application written in VFP8. They want to add a web interface to this. It would basically replicate a couple of forms and put them online, writing back to the VFP database. If the web hosting was done offsite, I would envisage using an ASP.NET setup writing to a local SQL database for the web part. What I need to do is have the web side update the VFP database at the customer's office in realtime or near as dammit. What would be the best way to do that? -- Alan Bourke [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
