Actually, Evan's first suggestion still applies. Read articles about creating COM components and FoxISAPI. West Wind has some excellent articles about this. Intranet development is easier than Internet since you don't have to concern yourself with:

Browser type or compatibility (Set a standard and upgrade workstations if necessary)
Server issues such as loading in house (roll your own) dll's.

By controlling these 2 critical components, you can go with fat client solutions using the power of VFP front end capabilities or thin client (ie Browser based) solutions using the power of VFP COM capabilities. Rick has articles on both at the site. If you don't want to roll your own, you can go with West Winds product and load it up on your Intranet Web Server or Active Foxpro Pages loaded on your Intranet Web Server. Intranet apps are a great way to learn since you have fewer headaches. If you want some examples or further clarification, let me know.
