What has Thierry written that contradicts what I wrote? I have worked with FiC, and it was mostly VFP programming together with FiC base classes. FIC converts your VFP code to HTML, javascript and CSS. You can freely add your own javascript code, but it's still VFP code and VFP doing most of the work.

>>FoxInCloud depends on doing most of the actual programming in VFP, with West-Wind Web Connection as back end.

>>>Thanks. No, the client does not expect everything to be in javascript. They are looking at a quick way to move away from maintaining a VFP system as they are seeing it more and more difficult to find developers with the necessary skills.
