Thanks Ronx. I'll do some experimenting with PHP.

That's okay, Karl. Just don't use Windows 7, yet ;-)
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

My XP system was going on 3-yrs old, and the wear and tear was horridly
obvious. It needed to be rebuilt. So, after testing all sorts of
stuff, I decide, WTH? Shoulda known. <sigh>

So, I got IIS7 running. Trying to open http://localhost in FP2003 is
just not working. Nothing I can do to get that happening?

I'm thinking, I can always use a VM, but what a friggin' hassle!

Windows 7 XP Mode may help - it is a virtual machine running Windows XP Pro
with USB support, and programs open as if they are in Windows 7 - but the
first program does take a long time to open.
