I have it set to use an "off port" behind-the-scenes which can be totally firewalled off from the outside world. Thus, it allows you to totally eliminate the need for the WSC and to do SSL much easier, etc. It also allows you to "skin" the interface pretty easily, which is what I did with OptiSkin. The front end files don't even have to be on the same box as the FileMaker instance, e.g. you could run the front end on a W2K IIS box and the back end on a MacOS X box. I'm probably going to "skin" the ISP Management interface too, as there seems to be a huge demand for that as well.. The added benefit of using a real scripting language is nice too. I'm eventually going to recode it in ASP.NET, but really this could be done in anything, including PHP (which would be best for cross-platform, but I don't know PHP well enough yet). We also use it to pull some stuff from our mySQL and MS SQL server and display right alongside CDML generated data. I tried to keep it simple so when you upgrade the OG Web Interface files, I can "keep up" just by modifying the CDML pages in the system, never having to touch the framework. If you want, feel free post a link to my free OptiWrap on your third party website/file archive for OptiGold, as some folks have already found it useful for "skinning" their own site.. ------------------------------------- Mike Bacher / mike@sparklogic.com Use OptiGold ISP?
