You might also want to look at another approach using terminal services. This is a great way to have a centralized data set that can run a true vfp front end and be accessed from anywhere.

If you go the route of using a local vfp exe, how will you update the program when there are problems? This is the biggest drawback I see to what you are trying to do.

>Can an application which is installed on a users PC as an EXE, access and interact with data that is made available on a web server? I know I can access internet data with asp pages and a COM server built as a dll, but can I get to the data using a traditional EXE, and if so how?
