>I am ready to embark on my first web application using ASP, IIS 4.0, and VFP. I have been reading about three-tier applications, and I was trying to figure out how to implement it. As you are aware, the tiers are as follows:

>Business Logic (VFP DLL's)
>Database Server (FoxPro 2.x DBF files)

I would suggest using ASP pages sparingly and use a framework like Web Connection that makes the whole process so much easier. As well, working with web connection is a whole lot easier to debug.
