Carl, you might want to take a look at ColdFusion from Allaire. This is turning into a great alternative to Active Server Pages for the layer between the back-end database (anything ODBC, or native SQLServer or Oracle)and the html pages. There is a vibrant developer community that reminds me of the way it was with Fox pre-Microsoft. I just hope to god that Allaire doesn't get bought out for a few years.

That said.... you can't do anything in ColdFusion that you can't do in VFP+WestWind.

and having said that I'm still amazed at how people think they can take a sophisticated application with multiple forms and joined data files and just pop it on the web. Oh sure, you can do that....but it will run as slow as molasses, look like crap, and take forever to code.

But hey...ASP are great for putting flat files on the web. ColdFusion works pretty well for a couple of joined files. But I'll stick with native fat clients (written in FoxPro) for awhile longer for doing things that are anything more complex than a shopping cart.
