Jay,

We did some of this starting 2002, believe it or not ;-)

In your position I'd start by making choices now about whether you want a Java/Winforms frontend or a Browser frontend. Browser is very popular in 2005 and is far easier to implement for obvious reasons.

Take a good look at ASP.NET . It is quite different from the old ASP and works well for many sorts of data display and edit. IME and despite rumors to the contrary, VFP people don't find ASP.NET so tough to learn- you can expect them to be doing basic data display/edit stuff within hours rather than days IMHO.

If your change is to occur across 5 years, and if you have lots of intensive VFP algorithms, you may wish to stage your transfer, getting the UI transferred quickly while retaining detailed VFP stuff accessed via mtdll or even via residual VFP fat client apps. Not as fashionable, but it makes business sense.

HTH.

Regards

yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
