Also post your question on Rick's site at www.west-wind.com
Rick had servers running with 100's of thousands of hits per day. VFP can handle it.

>I work for a company which is developing a web front-end for their product. Their original web product used Web Connect (v. 2.73?); however, the code was structured incorrectly, and we had some serious limitations (a lot of redundant behavior between ASP & the VFP COM object).
>
>Anyway, with VFP 6, we decided to try and re-do the application with a VFP COM object (No Web Connect). Obviously, before SP3, we were again running into scalability problems. Then, when SP3 was released, we seemed to have some indications that everything would be alright, so we developed our object.

>Yesterday, we tested w/20 people going on-line, and the results were dismal - Some people ran just fine, and others locked up and never got through. Obviously, we are now scrambling to debug. One of the resources we are using is Rick's book. Basically, it says that VFP 6 (initial release) COM objects won't scale well. However, it says that SP3 seems to fix all that. It also goes on to say that developing w/FoxISAPI (and I assume Web Connect) is the best way to write the fastest/most scalable applications for the Web in Foxpro.

>Now, I wrote all that to ask this:
>Is it still true that FoxISAPI/Web Connect are the best ways to write the fastest/most scalable web applications in Foxpro? Does anyone have any "success" stories about writing a fairly large scale application with purely VFP 6 sp3 COM objects? -- I need some fuel to start the debugging process - right now, I am still leaning towards the idea that VFP COM still does not scale very well.

>Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
