>i may be thinking to myself here, but it's not easy to run VFP app on the. So, how do you tell your boss, who seems to be determined to running it on the internet, that it will takes a lot of work to make it work.

Now I'm confused. Your original question was how to make a desktop app LOOK like a web app, or so I thought. That would be a step backward, as it says somewhere on the Interface Hall Of Shame ( http://www.iarchitect.com/shame.htm ). The amount of work required to create an actual web interface is always significant, and depends on the extent to which your interface tier is separated from business rules and stuff. Rick says that on his website, and it applies no matter which tool you use.
