I'm sorry to say but I really cannot understand the need for FIC type options when solutions like TSPlus/2X/etc. allows developers to run an existing app (written in anything) on a server and accessible via any modern browser or any Java enabled device with zero changes to the original app and without needing to install anything on the user's computer. Both FIC and TSPlus type solutions require decent bandwidth but the difference is FIC has to transfer actual data up and down the wire whereas TSPlus only transfer screen updates which I bet will be much faster than FIC for large dataset browsing.

TSPlus requires no code changes to a VFP app at all and maintains the exact same interface as if run on the local desktop. It solves the problem of having to transfer data up and down the wire, removes network connectivity causes of database failures, provides access on all devices including Windows, Apple, Android, desktops, tablets, and even smartphones. Handles login management. It requires a single server-side installation of TSPlus (completed in minutes) and nothing else. And your app even looks like its running from the local machine with a taskbar tile or entirely within a browser tab if preferred.

For a single fee per server you have unlimited user access limited only by server hardware (same limitation as FIC type solutions). With a 64 bit Windows server, terabyte+ SSD, and 64+ Gb Ram you can handle a lot of users easily.

If the idea is to extend the life of VFP apps then the TSPlus type of solutions is, in my opinion, a far better option.
