I have looked under the covers of West Wind. I met Rick at a LA Fox User group. I worked at CountryWide, they used a Rick's technology to talk to their various web services!
I have been able to keep my projects limited to desktop apps. It is time though to move a few things to the web. The only problem is that FoxPro has become a bad word around here. I have been forced to create COM+ versions of my VFP code. I then create recordsets for Crystal or just pump XML to other programs. The latest is a reporting portal. I use a VFP dll to extract data from the terribly structured SQL data warehouse. Sounds like it IS time to hit the WEB! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Crooks Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 12:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [NF] feed your inner geek On Wednesday, January 24, 2007 3:14 PM Timothy Fleck wrote: >I keep trying to get away from FOX, but they keep pulling me back!

Welcome to the ProFox List! Do you use West Wind to put VFP on the web? David L.
