i browse that occasionally when my clients ask for dos-type stuff (why don't i have to use the function keys anymore???). funny how often m$ gets mentioned there.

however, since most of my clients can use the common net browsers, but have (some) problems using anything else windows-based, running an app through a browser seems (to me) like a good idea. if vfp6 makes that easier, i'm all for it.
