Not actually web based, but I see you have VFP7. That means that your app could be easily converted to an ACTIVE DOC one and run in a web browser. The actual change would take only about 10 mins but there will be other things to consider especially disk access, security, runtimes etc.

I know this will be flamed because Active doc is no longer supported by MS, but it is an option, depending on the type of app.

It is my strong belief that MS deliberately dropped it because .NET was coming. After all what do you think Silverlight and Flash do anyway but force you to download runtimes and then force you to download and run content on your local computer using local resources. Same thing that an Active DOC application does. Even for .Net apps you download, you have to download a 25 md package of runtimes. VFP's is only 9mb.
