Brand new here. What is dbWEB. Does it have anything to do with
Foxpro?

Let me start by saying I am not a DBWeb expert. But DbWeb is a tool that
lets you connect Web Pages to a Database through ODBC. You can create
queries and even allow for parameters to be passed from your web page to
the database and return records to your page...

dbWeb is an unsupported program from Microsoft which connects ODBC data
sources with HTML so that you can display "live" database info in your
html documents. What this means is that it is VERY POORLY DOCUMENTED and
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING to use. If you take some time and look at the
other messages that are posted you can see some very unhappy people. I
have had some limited success with dbWeb 1.1A on a MS Windows NT 3.51
server. If you want to see it in action send me an email message and I
will give you the URL to look at.
