Subject:  Re: Incorporating ASP
You cannot use ASP scripts in FoxWeb scripts, because the language is different -- ASP scripts are written in JavaScript or VBScript, while FoxWeb scripts are written in the FoxPro language.  FoxWeb's object model is almost identical to ASP's, so you can easily convert an ASP script to a FoxWeb script.

Obviously for some commands are natively supported by FoxPro, so the equivalent ASP method was not duplicated.  For example, instead of using the Server.CreateObject method, you can simply use FoxPro's CREATEOBJECT command.

Note that you will not be able to use the SoftArtisans FileUp component, because it was specifically created for ASP; however, FoxWeb natively supports file uploads.  Please refer to the documentation of the Request object and the upload.fwx sample script for more details.

How can I use the following ASP script with a Foxweb script?

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<%
    Application.lock
    If IsEmpty(Application("myProgresss")) then
    Set uplp = Server.CreateObject("Softartisans.FileUpProgress")
        Dim myProgressID
        myProgressID = uplp.NextProgressID
        Application("ProgressID") = myProgressID
    end if
    Application.unlock
%>

Can you use the Server.CreateObject method in a Foxweb script?
