That's all great and the fact that there's no installation routine is another reason consultants and trainers probably love it. Also a boon to consultants is the management and integration of the multiple authors of the various components of the product.
ActiveVFP is a tool to build web applications with VFP. There is no portal software (yet). I'm trying to evaluate what makes .NET good for this sort of thing and the fact that there's a ton of people contributing to it could be looked at as being detrimental in some respects.
I'd like to learn more about skins and the other .NET type stuff done in DNN and see if it can be done in AVFP...
