Using IIS? SOAP? Other? FoxWeb works with Apache, which I have a ton of experience with and prefer, even on a Windows platform.
The simplicity of FoxWeb, from what I can see, is that it is like a blend of PHP and VFP...with some HTML thrown in. It's kind of cool to be able to write Fox code in an HTML wrapper. I don't need any interface, just the data. A few needles out of a huge haystack. Data's over there, need it way over here. You know the story...

It could connect to any backend via drivers for the connection. For output you could just output the query data as html with <table> with headers and state it is an excel file. _______________________________________________ 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 Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
