Thanks, Sarah. I was able to sort it out using localhost. Richard

I have no experience doing this. I'm thinking I can put a Rev cgi engine somewhere on my PC and then simply change the URL so it points locally. Does that engine need to go into a specific folder or can it go anywhere? How then do I structure the URL?I guess this depends on how your app is going to get it's data if there is no connection. I have a similar app and when testing, I turn on the web server in my own computer, install my cgi-scripts there and use "localhost" instead of the IP address. That is on the Mac, I don't know anything about web serving under Windows. Another option would be to run a version of Andre's RevOnRockets HTTP stack as your server and somehow get it to supply the required data. If this is going to work, I presume you have a set of default data that you can supply instead of whatever was supposed to be coming from the web server. So a better way might be to check for an internet connection and then have functions that get your data. e.g. if connectedToNet then put url ("http://65.23.xxx.x/cgi-bin/RevSearch.cgi?setcompdata="; & compfile & "=" & urlencode(compdata)) into x else put "default data" into x end if One of the simplest ways to check for an internet connection is to put a text file on your site containing nothing but the number 1. Then: put "http://mysite.com/test.txt"; into tCheck if tCheck = 1 then ... you are connected The virtue of this is that it tests the connection to the relevant server too.
