Charlie and others, "You don't need no stinkin' ActiveX's!" for FTP/HTTP services!
I strongly encourage you to check out Christian's FREE vfp2c32.fll which is chock full of 100's of wrapped API functions including HTTP services. Highly recommended - 6 out of 5 stars<g> and well worth making an optional donation. Christian's work is a hidden diamond. CHECK IT OUT! www.vfp2c.com Another ActiveX alternative that's well worth even a short term subscription (and another 6 out of 5 stars endorsement): www.news2news.com Disclosure: We're already tied to Rick Strahl's wwipstuff product ($129, highly recommended) but if I had to start from scratch, I would give serious consideration to using vfp2c32.fll or code from news2news.com. To summarize - many full featured, robust ActiveX alternatives for http/ftp: 1. wwipstuff, $129 via west-wind.com (free eval version for testing) 2. vfp2c.com, free (donation encouraged) 3. news2news.com, free and subscription based Malcolm _______________________________________________ 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.
