>HELLO,
> I just finished a app. in vfp v5. Now my company dicided to put the app. on the internet so our remote users can access it on the internet. I did read the article in FoxTalk in the April and May issues on how to turn a VFP app. into client/server app. My question is should I develop a set of new user screens and put them on the internet for remote users or will it be easier for me to make changes in my application and turn it into a client/server app? thanks.

Sherry,

The answer is not an easy one. In fact much depends on how you organized the access to your data. If you used local parameterized views, then you are in great shape and shifting to remote views should be relatively easy. Now what about the forms? It depends too: if you organized them in a way to limit the size of the record set, shifting to client server should not be too painful . You'll find on my web a document and links to several others that discusses how data access is arranged in the Codebook framework. That's very well done and allows you to shift from local to remote data on the fly.
