How to open file in specificatio IP instead of Drive Letter

[Dutch]

Dear All,

How can I open file with IP address such as \\192.168.0.1\data\test.dbf ?
Can we map network driver in VPN?

Thanks,
Dutch

Hi,

You can do this :-

- install web server (eg: Apache,IIS, Fivewin web server)
- install xBase plugin which support Clipper/Foxpro commands (eg: AFP or others)
- write html script in html+javascript+Clipper/Foxpro to update dbf/cdx

The speed depands on line connection and the server pc.

Dutch,

I do this in one of my apps. I have a config file with the IP address for a certain PC then I just do the following:

cFile := "\\"+alltrim(config->cIP)+"\myDir\Text.dbf"
USE &cFile SHARED NEW ALIAS "PCserver"

Hope this helps,

Jeff
