Exactly. There are many different types of customers we come in contact with and this does have its place in our toolbox. I did an app like this for Sony Music about two years ago and it flies. It is a great concept for any size business that wants to move data over the internet or an intranet. It does not cost much to develop an application compared to ASP or Java and leverages VFP skills.
