Speed and stability are very good with VFP. The example I sent you to look at is being hosted at only 128k. It hasn't crashed in a year except due to my bugs. Web connect product shows the times of processing each event. Usually in low hundreths of a second. On www.computer-consulting.com go to tips/vfp/ and near the top of the tips you will see a journal entry example which is simpler than the order entry example, fully explained as to how to do the distributed programming with web connect, xml, dhtml, and vfp objects to get the speed and stability. Good luck, as it has been a real fun challenge for me to learn all this stuff.

>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 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.

>>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.
