Any VFP executable is going to require the entire VFP runtime to be loaded to the target system, no matter how 'small' the client-side executable may be. If you're running thin-client, why do you need any client-side executable IAC? All that passes between the server and the thin-client terminal is keystrokes and screen updates, just like PCAnywhere.

It sounds more like a Web interface than a thin-client environment. The two are not the same.
