Querying fox databases from the internet

[lordhawkins]

I'm creating a mail delivery control system. It will record the packs given to every deliverymen and the resulting info. That's standar programming.

The other part is setting the app so the clients can consult the status of deliveries.
Is it possible to query dbf's from a webpage?
Do I need to use other database?
If fox can do it, can anyone point me to some website where i can the info?

Yes, you can access Foxpro databases from a web page, using ODBC or OLE DB, in much the same way as you would with SQL Server or MySQL.

A good place to start your research is the West Winds site (

http://www.west-wind.com).

They produce some useful tools, plus the site has a lot of technical info.
