Hi Mark. Here is a faq that I wrote on the subject.

Some notes: Surplus Direct was most certain a data entry. The users were inputting what they wanted to view and buy. Rick has also said that he far exceeded the hits I list below. The Universal Thread is an excellent example of a high traffic VFP app.
--------
VFP can handle huge amounts of data. Here are some examples:

1) The eurotunnel project used 128 GB data, 24 hours/day (http://www.paltielinc.com/vfp1.html) (this is not VFP but FPD)

2)Universal Thread has over 400,000 transactions per day and is based on VFP (http://www.levelextreme.com)

3) Rick Strahl built the Surplus Direct site it had peaks of "500,000+ VFP server hits a day and 28,000 VFP server hits per hour"
(http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/largeweb/)

4) Searching on "System Capacity in VFP6 help
"Maximum # of records per table file 1 billion
Maximum size of a table file 2 gigabytes
Maximum # of characters per record 65,500
Maximum # of fields per record(1) 255
Maximum # of tables open at one time(2) 255
Maximum # of characters per table field 254
Maximum # of open index files per table(2) unlimited
Maximum # of open indexes in all work areas(2) unlimited
Maximum # of relations unlimited"

The typical business app would not reach these capacity levels.

>I have a client that wants to convert a number of their distributed FPD26 apps to run over the web. I am proposing using VFP. They are a bit leary of how the app would respond and have asked me to find some site(s) that use VFP over the web for data entry processes.

>Does anyone know of any that I can point them to? I know that this site and Surplus Direct use VFP, but they are not really data entry oriented.

>I would really love the chance to try to write a web based VFP app, but unless I can prove it works, they won't go for it.
