Maybe the article you are referencing is out of date David. I just confirmed
with my customer who is
also a VFP developer.
" Yep. My backend is a LAMP - Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP application
- is hosted on godaddy.com
I use MyODBC as the connection to setup an ODBC DSN connection on the local PC:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html";
So I guess I trust him since he is actually doing it <g>. He has a Web
application for his customer
base to access their data. He wrote a VFP app to maintain the data remotely,
make changes to the
support tables, run statistical queries, etc. I hear it is also very fast.

Can I Connect to My Database Remotely?
No, we do not allow external connections to our database servers.
