>>But we built the distributed Web app and the end result, while quite different from the original app, has been received extremely well both by the workers and management, and productivity of the workfloor workers has nearly doubled. The end result is an upward scalable application that's accessible from anywhere from relatively low cost work stations.
That's a good result. Was the VFP app using dbfs or what was the cause of the slowdown and/or the increased productivity?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
