Hello Kurt, I'd take a look at TEXT ... ENDTEXT with the TEXTMERGE option. Of course, TEXTMERGE is a great option as well for merging data into an HTML template. You could create a menu by SCANing through a table of images using the TEXT TEXTMERGE ADDITIVE ... ENDTEXT.
Once the data is merged, I'd then output to a folder with the STRTOFILE(). Once all of your HTML is generated and sitting on your harddrive somewhere, I'd then use Craig Boyd's VFPConnection suite to FTP the files up to your hosting service to make them go live. Is this along the lines of what you were asking about? -Kevin On 01/17/2011 12:31 PM, Kurt Wendt wrote: > Hey there folks, > > > > First of all - I know it's a little late - but, Happy New Year.
