>The internet people are powerful, intense, and have never heard of Foxpro. They seem to believe that Cold Fusion can do anything, and that's how they want to do it. They want to develop the company's operational software as intranet apps composed of web pages using Cold Fusion, while my inclination would be to use VFP.

Here are some links for ASP vs Cold Fusion. I know that you weren't asking about ASP, but the arguments are relevant since this questions seems to be a programming solution vs a web design (with extend HTML tags) solution.

Darn... there was a better article than the two above. I will see if I can find it at home tonight. I hope this will get you started.

Also, do a search on the UT for Foxpro vs ASP. You can then compare the strengths of all three products.
