No kidding. Guess what I'm working on right now for our company (ie. my day job - not the one listed below my name)? Yup, a VFP version of our Clipper-based autobody management system. I can tell you how I'm handling the web-integration: I'm using a 3-tier design. That means all the real business logic is broken up into their own objects that I can use from ASP, or something like WebConnect (which is what I'll be using). I'm not really sure that an autobody mgt. system is a great fit for an ASP-type business model. In one respect, a lot of cool things become possible when this stuff is hosted on a web page. But in the other, you lose a lot of the rich UI features of VFP. Things that are relatively easy in VFP are awkward in a browser UI. I think a hybrid of the approaches is really the best way to handle all this.
