Rewriting an desktop app to a web app also forces us to rethink the structure and GUI of the app. Just porting our desktop app to a webapp just does not cut it. It just sounds the time to do a total rewrite but since clients will have both the desktop app and the web app, just rewriting module by module (department by department) seems to make more sense than trying to keep hanging onto VFP and its current structure.
