Yes. 2 tiers (Simple CS). The bizobjs are in the same machine and executable that the presobjs so for me those are only 2 tier apps

>If there is any possibility of ever going to the internet, (even if you think that there is no possibility, there probably is) you should build your app in two tier.

It's easy to get in over your head when attempting to build a robust system in a browser- your clients will begin to ask for UI features or performance that will be difficult or impossible to implement in a browser. You'll find your self just wishing for a VFP grid (or whatever).

>The thin client approach as far as an enterprise app goes is not very realistic, IMHO. Daily users just do not want to wade through the clumsy UI that a browser offers. I know because I've tried, and I learned my lesson the hard way. The best solution is to build the mainline app in VFP, and give an alternate interface through the web for remote access, both can share the same exact business logic.
