I have to agree with Jos as I chose the Remote Desktop/TSPlus route years ago and have my apps running without changes both in the desktop and the web. Now the only time I write web apps is for a few situations where this is best solution other than that I just develop my normal VFP apps and host them on my servers and people use their browser to use them or login via Remote DeskTop.

I have been happy with the results. I did start to build a nice application framework in QooxDoo which I enjoyed but I did not like the length of time it takes to develop a good web app and the fact that my data was constantly be sent across the web. With TSPlus all that goes back and forth is screen updates, key strokes and mouse moves.

>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.
