Here's a quote from the web site:

"The AFP Demo is a fully functioning package. The only difference between the demo and the "live" version is the "Splash Screen". With the demo you get a "reminder" that this is only a demo and not a licensed copy. Of course the licensed copy never displays the "Splash Screen".

The license for AFP is "per motherboard". So you would only need one license per "motherboard" that AFP is run from.

AFP costs $499 per license."


So, yes, it is more than WC. But you don't need to buy it, just find a site that already has it.

>The AFPWeb site refuses to 'fess up to the price of their product, so I would assume that it costs more than WWWC, just like Rick says (or is said to have said). It remains to be seen whether our client will pay for West Wind Water Closet :). The Enterprise version is probably unnecessary for most people.

>>>WWWC has functions that include a paging option which includes "next page" and "previous page" link at the bottom of the response. When we actually pay for it, we'll get source code which might make it possible to hack the function and add new options such as a page number box. I don't know if that source would be in vfp or VC++. For my demo I made another report that does paging manually by storing session variables using other WWWC functions and doing SEEK or GO recordnumber on the recordset before creating the response, which creates basic HTML form controls such as a text box for input of a page number.

>>>>>My server has been running AFP for several months now. AFP is a great product and very stable. I haven't tried WWC so I can't compare the 2 other than to say I have always heard good things about WWC. I have taken a look at the Visual Webbuilder product and it looks like a great tool to use with WWC, something that is definitely lacking in AFP.

>>>>>AFP's strengths are its power and simplicity. I was productive in less than 10 minutes of first trying it. Its drawbacks are I feel like I've stepped backwards to the 2.x days in the way you manage a project. You can use FP and Interdev, no question about it, but it is a scripting engine. But for a large scale web based project (complexity of the app not the size or amount of the data), managing could be difficult.
