Rick, We want to create a functionality in our Sylvan app whereby the users would start-up the application and we simply want to capture their login metrics (userid, workstation name, version of software, date/time stamp). I had done this previously with SPT (SQLSTRINGCONNECT/SQLEXEC) to a MySQL database on the web. Recent conversations had said (per PKM) that a web service would be better this time around since it could get through firewalls moreso. Since this is a VFP9 app, what, iyo, would be the easiest/best way to design this? My coworker has said VFP web service, but your comments above make me wonder (along with Allen's repeated problems it seems with VFP web services) if we'd be better off to use DotNet for this? tia, --Michael -- Michael J.
