Vfp9sp2 database Webbase

[mccartmd]

Hi: Have built vfp app with tables, joins, sqls reports, classes etc. (easy!) looking to webbase vfp database 101 using "my app", (hard!) I have read much on this and can't seem to perceive or how to approach it!
regarding scripting, host services,ado, asp, dsn,php,frontpage,apache,sql server, mysql. . etc.
How does one approach this, of using your own vfp app/dbc?
its the server side that is giving me fits.
they want you to use access or mysql. . .
and to me vfp is just fine, access if too bossy
and I don't have the patience to wade thru mysql,
sql server. . .or others, would like to use vfp.
Appreciate any feedback. . .just "the basics"

Thank you!
Mike

Mike,
Agree with you 100% about VFP: it runs circles around Access, MySql, even SQL server for small businesses automation. Robust, easily customizable, features laden with all the tools one would ever need.
To put your VFP data on the web, however, requires quite a bit of effort. Like you said, the server side stuff is hard. That's why people, including myself, utilize third party "middle ware" to link up to the web.

Let's not forget webconnect. A great prodcut by Rick Strahl to handle VFP requests on a webserver.
