Use a DTS process on the SQL server side to update the VFP database. An
update trigger could launch the DTS process.
Then your dbf data is exposed on the outside of your firewall. Are you
sure you want to do that?

If you're going to go with ASP.NET 2.0, then it makes sense to use the

It sure does - I like the way you can

They want to add a web interface to this. It would basically replicate a

You might want to consider using MySQL, PHP and a low cost hosting
vendor. Many of us on this list use LunarPages which is a very
reasonably priced, very reliable hosting vendor. Highly recommended.
If you go the MySQL route, you can read/write your MySQL tables directly
from VFP via ODBC

I like this idea. Allows you to have an existing VFP system while
creating a new PHP web based equivalent (or replacement) at the same time.
Doesn't the initial poster of this thread already do ASP.NET? If so why
tackle a new environment?
YMMV

Well, a definite advantage is that he probably wouldn't be forced to scrap
everything the next time MS trashes ... uh innovates... their

They are working on version 3 currently according to a M$ geek at the

I'd rather not go down the LAMP route as there is just too much learning
curve there for me for this project. I can already handle C# and MSSQL
and have found designing sites in VS2005 with ASP.NET 2 intuitive to
someone coming from a purely fat client background, so
