No something like this isn't possible. What you can
do is to use vfp as the database backend behind the
web server software. The www is not a peer to peer
network, it's only a client server application which
is sending character strings back and forth.

Have a look at www.west-wind.com. They have a product
webconnect to connect a vfp app to the web (but you
have to do some coding). Under some circumstances it's
also possible to show a vfp form in the browser (only
ie 4.x and probably also 5.x).

I don't now about the IN BROWSER clause. Normally with
RUN you can start a DOS or Windows application.
