I can crank out a WS in no time at all for consumption to a select set or unlimited access. Now with WCF you can get a lot more security on both sides of the connection. I can consume a WS in no time in an app. Web or Win. I can use that for my data layer as a whole or just for smaller needs of some crud operations or validations. Granted you can do that with a great many languages out there. C comes to mind as well as java and python. The only thing that you have to do is break the mold of always starting your computer and then opening up VFP. You have to choose another tool to spend time at learning how to use. Put in 30 min in the morning and 30 min at lunch. If you can squeeze in a last bit at the end of the day even better. In a few short weeks you will have done the hello world as well as the simple little list box type of thing. It just takes time. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ 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.
