If you're going to be developing solely for the web, you may want to check out some of the tools built specifically for that. I'm not sure what "directory services" is, but you may want to look into Active Server Pages (Visual Interdev) Visual Interdev works fantastic with SQL Server. I love FoxPro, but if I were tasked with strictly web development, I'd personnaly make Vis. Interdev my primary tool and augment it with Fox components.
