Paradox as a Web Server It really can work by Tony McGuire  Right-clicking on the OCX and selecting "Object Explorer" you get the inspector (above, with "methods" tab selected). On the "methods" tab is the "uses" block Also, "const" and "var" and the "openlibrary" method are critical and discussed later. The items in red are not editable; they are "included" for use by the OCX.  In the "Uses" block, a declaration for "handlerequest" appears. Handlerequest is a method that must be in every Paradox library you want to use to store methods that the OCX control will talk with. This threw me for a loop, since I wanted to talk to multiple libraries. In the OnPostRequest() (next page), HandleRequest() is used to pass the function call to the exact library needed. In the <form> action of a page, you specify which function should actually handle any given request. This is taken care of in a "master" table, which contains all of the functions you wish to trap for, then activates the appropriate method in the appropriate library by passing the information to the "handlerequest" method.
