Sometimes life is so obvious it sneaks up on you.

For easy artsy pages that do not have content which is dynamic in its number of instances, such as a list of "everyone who showed for the last meeting", consider the following:

1 - Design your page with Frontpage or the HTML page editor of your choice and save the file.

2 - In your code do this.

function MY_PAGE( oHtml, oContext )

LOCAL cString := memoread( "MY_FRONTPAGE.HTM" )

oHtml:put( cString )

return (.T.)

You can also do a search and replace on any values you have for form inputs with dynamic data pulled from your dbfs by:

cString := strtran( cString, "XXX_LAST_NAME", cLastName )

Bottom line, do all of the heavy formatting work in an editor that facilitates this action.

If this is what everyone else has been doing, I feel so dumb.
