Andy,

>do you know anyone who has use the tools from www.west-wind.com and made VFP app run on the internet? if so, does the app work like typical webb page?

To make it work like a typical web page, generally you will use some process that can create a typical web page. This means rewriting parts of your system, depending on how componentized it is currently.

The Web Connection package has classes that can render VFP forms as DHTML for Internet Explorer only, but even then you have to change the way the code in the forms is written in most cases. You can see samples of this in the free downloadable Web Connection demo. So, if your needs for the Web version are for simple forms and can run on just IE, that's a possible option.

In most cases, however, you will rewrite the User Interface, and perhaps completely redesign the rest of your application to make it "stateless", where each submit of a page is treated on the server side as a completely new request, totally unrelated to the one that preceeded it.
