The major concern is speed and stability. Everyone has heard of using java or cold fusion or......., but not VFP. I just need something to show them that VFP is the way to go.
I will check out this link, thanks for the info.

>>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.

>>Thanks.

>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.
