Web Vfp

Hi Lori
Since VFP can publish and consume Web Services as well, i would create two
applications here:
* A Web Service that will run on the server that does the 'punching' part
( your words :-) )
* A Client app. that you install in the agencies, that will consume the Web
Service specified above.
For information on creating or consuming Web Services in VFP, check out the
help file and samples. You can also see the zillion threads on the subject
in universalthread.

PS: You should use VFP7 or later for the above mentioned to work.
