Kevin, Thanks for your input. I guess I was hoping for something a little more automated. With the TEXT command - its still to some extent that I will need to generate some kind of code by hand. Or, at least, hand code some chunks, then let the program generate each page - based upon those chunks - and then inserting images/links within those chunks. I shall look into what you meant via the TEXTMERGE command. As for the Menu suggestion - that's also something I hope to automate - but, not sure exactly what you meant below. I saw something in the VFP help - which referred to generating an HTML page from a Menu. I should also look closer at that and see what I can come up with. Its just that - I don't already have the menu it speaks off - since I don't have the whole Gallery in a menuing kind of thing in VFP. But, maybe I can play around with that and see what I can come up with.

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.
