just want to submit some data & have it end up on Filepro - old tony

[Jose Lerebours]

I "imagine":

a) given a web form which is filled in and submitted
b) process is done to write to filePro files/tables

Without intending to disrespect Tony, it does not seem that he would 
know much about
available means such as WSDL, cURL, REST or API integration using them 
... otherwise, he would have
worded his question differently.

I still believe that his first point of reference should have been the 
newly announced/released web
version of filePro and followed by OneGate.

Apparently, for Tony, the former would be easier since all code (or so I 
believe) is done in native filePro;
no need for him to learn anything outside his comfort zone.

I am sure fpTech sales team will notice his question in a few days and 
send him some basic references on how
their new product is an ideal match for him.  ;-)
