SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to implement GenHTML functionality in Visual FoxPro
6.0 run-time applications (including APPs, EXEs, DLLs, and so forth).

MORE INFORMATION
================

1. Add the GenHTML.prg file to your project. GenHTML.prg is located in the
  Visual FoxPro root directory specified by HOME().

2. Add the _HTML.vcx file to your project. The _HTML.vcx class library is
  located in the Visual FoxPro Foundation Classes (FFC) directory specified by
  HOME()+"FFC\".

3. If you plan to use any of the Web Wizard data page output layouts at
  run-time, you must also add the _HTMLSty.vcx file to your project. The
  _HTMLSty.vcx class library is located in the Visual FoxPro FFC directory
  specified by HOME()+"FFC\". If you add the _HTMLSty.vcx file to your project,
  you need to add the following two lines of code to your startup program in
  order to avoid a project build error:

        FUNCTION taFields()
        ENDFUNC

4. Generally, when you call GenHTML you do it by executing the following line:

        DO (_GENHTML) WITH <params>

  The default value of _GENHTML in the development version of Visual FoxPro is
  HOME()+"GENHTML.PRG". In run-time applications, you should manually set
  _GENHTML="GENHTML.PRG" at the start of your application so that the
  GENHTML.PRG program included in your application is properly executing at
  run-time using the same DO (_GENHTML) WITH <params> commands.

5. Build the project into an APP, EXE, or DLL. Note that the _Base.vcx class
  library is automatically added to your project if it did not already exist in
  the project.
