VFP web services

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I would like to set up an extremely basic web service application, just
to get going.

I only want an example that reads and updates a single field in a free
table over internet. What would be the easiest way to achieve this - I
don't have the time (or energy) to study hundreds of pages of web
technology, and I would like to do it as much as possible within VFP 9.0.

So - what's your suggestion?

Hi Aaron,

See this web site at http://www.afpages.com/ and they use VFP syntax =
code that runs within the html pages. It does not require a lot of =
learning curve. Also at West wind at http://www.west-wind.com but it =
requires a longer learning curve but has much more features set.

Aaron,
it's right in the vfp 9 docs. Look for the article entitled:
Walkthrough: Creating XML Web Services with Visual FoxPro
Make sure you compile to a VFP mtdll since your web service could
potentially service many simultaneous requests...
