Windows 2003 server changes things from Windows 2000 server.
(Side note: Of course things would change. So many vulnerabilities. Gotta
change things around to make it 'look' like you plugged the holes. And
changing things also gives 'justification' words for MS-dead-heads to say
'....see ya gotta do it MS's way...').
There was a setting somewhere in IIS which had to be turned 'on' to allow
certain other file types (apart from asp? or aspx?) to be invoked on a web
site. That's probably 1 issue. I have a West-Wind Webconnection application
which I moved from winsrv 2000 to winsrv 2003. WWWC of course, uses a .dll.
It wouldn't work until I tracked down that stupid setting and changed it.
So, wrong again, VFP seems to work fine on Win 2003 server (once you
understand what MS changed.... again).
And, by the way, I have various config files that I use which allow my
systems to work with the server and other networked servers with no
problems. Of course, I do NOT use 'standard' MS config files. Maybe that's
why mine works..... ?

Be that as it may, the question wasn't posed to a .NET group, it was
asked of a VFP group. I'll take that as a hint that a VFP solution is
being sought and that the solution might be helpful to others who are
using VFP. We are interested in getting the most out of, if not
advancing, VFP, are we not?
Bill, remember that Steve is an MS-dead-head. He really likes .Net and MS
SQL Server and likes to bash VFP.
Steve, why are you still on this list again? If just you like posting jokes
and stuff, why not keep your posts to NF and OT. We all 'get' that you used
to use VFP, that you're into .Net and MS SQL server now, that you think VFP
is oh so out of date, that everything we do here is so 'old hat'. IMO, Bill
is right about this list: we're here to offer solutions in VFP - we are
here to foster and advance VFP. So, Steve, you're obviously not in
agreement with that concept so why remain, and post, on the list? I'm
trying to understand. Every now and then a SQL Server question does arise
and you provide feedback. But since you don't really use VFP much anymore,
why keep posting to VFP questions?
