Fellow Gentlemen,
I posted a request about doing geocoding requests to receive back a Lat/Long dataset for various addresses a few weeks ago and now find that Google do in fact provide a Geocoding service:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start
The responses back from the requests are all JSON from a Java Script API run by Google. I have looked over Rick's Westwind site to try and get a start on using this method to get back a JSON response but seem to be getting nowhere fast. Anyone got any ideas on a simple & neat way of retrieving this data back using VFP programmatically? Either that or anyone know a free Geocoding site that would handle up to 100 name and address calls per day ideally by sending a text file and receiving one back which could be automated from the VFP end.
Never even looked at Web services in anger before so it all seems a little baffling and terribly long winded at the moment unless I am missing something obvious.
Note I don't want to have to drop into an intermediate program/language to accomplish this, if possible.

Yes, this is a M$ tool. We use it at Ring and all users really like how
easy it is for them to pulll data that they need. We have independent
cubes for Sales, Purchasing, Production, Shipping, GL, etc.

How cool would it be if Calvin Hsia and the rest of the VFP team or new
folks were reactivated on VFP at M$?
Yeah...just a fantasy but a fun quick thought for the moment!
And now back to the real world....lol
