Your list appears to be missing a web server (and probably a Servlet Container if you go the UniObjects for Java route) but yes, it's certainly possible. It *can* all run on the same server, if you want. (I wouldn't...) I've had a web front-end on a UniData database for ages now, the users love it. (For some reason they hate to "log in" to the telnet app, but will happily click on a link and type the exact same userid/password pair when prompted from the web interface. Go figure.) I would not recommend the PHP->Java extension for use in production until someone more knowledgeable than I am in C and PHP takes a look at it, but it did at least work. You don't even need all that... You can open port 80 on the database server and serve content from there, (see above!) or get something like MVInternet from Pixius and stay completely in UniBasic and HTML. Our first web presence was done with MVInternet, and it was just retired this past weekend in favor of another Struts-based Java web application. Do you have a specific project in mind? There are at least half a dozen ways to get U2 data to appear on a web page, the "best" way depends on what expertise you already have in-house and how complex the problem is. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
