>A client has a line-of-business VFP5 app (LOBA) they run on their internal LAN. They'd like to expose a couple of its forms to the Web so that remote users can interact with them:
>
>- View current LOBA data, if any are present
>- Optionally, make changes (CRUD)
>- Later, view either current LOBA data or their changes, or perhaps both side-by-side if changes are pending
>
>Any changes made are not to be committed immediately to the LOBA, instead:
>
>- They should be stored to an intermediate database (IDB)
>- A local user should be notified that remote user(s) have made changes
>- The local user reviews the (pending) changes. Ideally the differences between the pending changes and the live data in the LOBA should be highlighted
>- The local user may modify the pending changes
>- When any mods are complete, the local user can commit the changes back to the LOBA

>I imagine a custom app written in ASP.Net, Web Connect etc. could do this. However, I suspect there are platforms out there that can automate a lot of the grunt work for forms processing/workflows like this. Before I start researching, can anyone suggest any suitable platforms for this sort of work? I believe MS may have some suitable technology e.g. SharePoint? InfoPath? Others?

>The client is open to using either MS or open-source technology. I'm thinking MS *might* be a little simpler for communicating with the LOBA; I don't know of any Linux/Unix ODBC drivers for VFP5 databases or free tables.

What about Terminal Services or Citrix? will be the simplest solution without changing any code.
