There are many ways of putting your application on the web. It all depends what your needs are. For example if your requirements are to make your application available to users across the world, you don't need to do much. You can use Remote DeskTop access to a server via an IP address which contains your application. This is the easiest way, but if you want you application to be "web based", that is a different story.
As you know the internet is HTML based, and a Foxpro application is not. Yes, you can have your data in DBF format, yes, you can have your business layer in foxpro code, but the user interface has to be HTML based. So that would involve re-designing your interface to be HTML based.
There are also products like FoxWeb (There are others) that allow you for example to have a webpage do a search on a client, so it sends a string to a server via HTTP to FoxWeb that takes that string and calls a Foxpro program to do the query, and return an HTML page with the result.
But in the end parts of your application have to be re-designed to work that way, it is not as simple as "put my Foxpro application on the internet".
