Cyril,

Windows Remote Desktop under Windows 7 and against Windows Server 2008 can run any application on the server using a simple hyperlink to start the application from inside a browser. Simply awesome. No re-write of any code at all, everything runs on the server, access via a browser. You need a CAL for each concurrent user but that's cheap and just a once-off payment to MS. See here:

Note, this for example:


What new functionality does this feature provide?
Enables you to easily deploy RemoteApp programs over the Web

With TS Web Access, a user can visit a Web site, view a list of RemoteApp programs, and then just click a program icon to start the program. The RemoteApp programs are seamless, meaning that they appear like a local program. Users can minimize, maximize, and resize the program window, and can easily start multiple programs at the same time. For an administrator, TS Web Access is easy to configure and to deploy.

>>Luis,

>>Although I sent you an email, after reading through all the posts here, I feel it is worthwhile to add my own post to try and cut through the haze.

>>Your question was how you can use VFP 9 and create web applications. You basically got two types of answers:
>>
>>Answer Type #1: "Forget it, use what I like to use, which is the super great platform XYZ"
>>
>>Answer Type #3: "No problem, use the really great tool I use to web enable VFP and leverage your existing knowledge."
>>
>>EVERY SINGLE ANSWER GIVEN YOU IS WRONG, BECAUSE NOBODY BOTHERED TO ASK WHAT YOU NEED. They all answered pushing their own agenda.
>>
>>My company has expertise in many if not all the mentioned platforms. In the VFP web enabling world, we have developed FoxInCloud systems, Active Foxpro Pages apps, Active VFP apps, and about 2 gazillion similar projects. We also have applications in PHP, C#, and about a gazillion web platforms and systems.
>>
>>I can tell you with great accuracy what will and will not work for what you wish to do. But first I would need to know what you wish to accomplish. Is this just general various contract apps you create for others? An in-house corporate app? What are your short term and long term goals.
>>
>>Without that info, take every answer with a grain of salt. With that info, I can give you a solid answer.
>>

>>
>>>I'm planning to begin developing web applications but my main and almost only programming language I know, and work with, is VFP 9. So I guess I should adopt one of the mentioned above. I would like to know which one of them is the easiest to learn, the stronger to support a lot of concurrent users. Or which one would you recommend?
