>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.

Cold Fusion's debugger can't touch stepping through Fox code, and the performance isn't nearly what you can get from VFP using Web Connection.

But the inverse isn't true, there are things you can do in Web Connecton that you can't in CF.
>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.

I'm moving rapidly to fat client and Web Connection for more robust applications that can be run inter or intra net. Rick Strahl's product is a Godsend for the VFP community.
