The last thing you want is to have your filepro accessable from an html page !! 
   (aka here is my data hack it whenver you feel like it)
I would recomend and asp page / web service behind a firewall and your filepro sits BEHIND that or
maybe another fierewall. Send a parameter to the asp page and allow it (ASP/WebService) to do the
command to filepro not the web !!! (This applies to Intranet also)

Be glad to help
