>>We have a potential project in which our VFP app should serve results to SAP. At this point, I know very little about the project, and almost nothing about SAP, but I'd like to be prepared as much as possible, for a technical discussion with the other party. My initial thought would be to
>>build an automation server in VFP to be used in the SAP environment.
>>Is something like this possible or advisable? Is there any other kind of service that would be more suitable for SAP? Most of the resources I find online, talk about instantiating SAP objects in VFP, and not the other way around. Any advice is appreciated.TIA

I'm a certified SAP consultant. B-)

That doesn't matter. With RFC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Function_Call) your VFP application run anything from SAP or ABAP applications run your VFP application from inside SAP. OS is not important. SAP consultants will create RFC functions for you. It will easy for you, be don't afraid...
