West Wind Web Connection has a class that allows rendering of certain VFP forms to the web. Note that it works very well in certain situations. Here are some of the constraints:
a) All of your clients must use MSIE 4 or later. The class counts on the MSIE version of Dynamic HTML and is not compatible with Netscape. The only tool I've heard that creates DHTML for both browsers is NetObjects Fusion, but of course that has nothing to do with VFP forms <s>.
b) The degree to which you would have to recode your form varies alot. If you have lots of field-level validation code, you'll have work to do, since the server is only hit upon form submission. If your code is more oriented toward form-level validation, you're in better shape.
c) There are some types of objects like grids that just don't translate well into a pure HTML environment. The West Wind documentation indicates which VFP base classes are handled.
