I'm particularly interested in stateless VFP middle-tier processes talking to a VFP front-end for LAN use with an alternate possibility of a browser front-end for WAN use (internet or intranet connection).

I see that Flash Creative is announcing a COMCodeBook framework. Perhaps some reporting on that would fit within the scope of your book.
