OK. You win - VFP is the ideal tool for a web hosted application. Period :-}

Oh, btw, what tool did you use for stress testing and what tests did you run ?

>Oh yes, many, many times. Like I said it is extremely scalable and will satisfy the needs of 95% of the web sites out there. You sound like you've memorized the FUD that Microsoft and the cheerleaders have been putting out these many years..

The problems arise when any components used to handle the thread request are not themselves threadsafe. In the case of a VFP COM component I don't think you can do achieve that without instantiating a separate instance of the runtimes for each thread. That doesn't scale well.....
