The initial work went very well, however due to a tight schedule the client preferred to keep the system in Client/Server mode for implementation and then schedule the webbrowser version as an additional module once the development is finalized. They had to meet some deadlines that we would not have been able to meet by doing everything at the same time.

So it will take a few months till we are that far to finalize the webbrowser part and then we know more about it. But thanks for asking, I will let you know for sure.

As I understand it, I could use VFP to create those interfaces and FoxInCloud gives me the possibility to create the HTML pages?
