>>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.

How about MS to buy WWC and integrate it in full with VFP. Cool isn't it? If that happens, VFP would be more than internet ready... :-)
