What you are talking about is highly data-intensive processing. Why should the web be any different than a regluar application? I can't seem to get there now to give you a specific link, but go to
www.sdmagazine.com and search for the Jan. 1999 issue. They did a two-part review of Visual Studio 6 and said something like "of all the tools in Visual Studio, VFP is best suited for middle-tier, data-intensive components". You can get the exact quote from the web site.
