Note that the product you are referring to is Web Connect. West Wind Technologies is the company that produces it.

1. Web Connect is an excellent product. It is all VFP 6 code, so if VFP can do it, Web Connect can.

So you can of of course, use SQL Server or Oracle as back-ends through ODBC. Basically is the same way you would do it with VFP. WC also comes with a special SQL class called wwSQL that simplifies the use of a SQL back-end.

2. Web Connect can use create HTML in code:
Response.Write("<h1>This is my Web Page</h1><br>")
Or you can use scripts or templates. They basically work like ASP pages and you can use any editor, even Visual Interdev for it.

3. Converting a VFP app to the web could be easy or could be difficult. It depends on your application. The more compnonents (N-Tier) and OOP the design the better. Remember that a web app is at a minimum a Client/Server (2-Tier) type app.

4. I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. Remember that WC is VFP code. AS I said above, if you can do it in VFP then you should be fine. But given that a web app is a distributed app, where the client could be anything, it may or may not respect you choice of fonts. If you use a thin-client like Internet Explorer or Netscape then you have to use the fonts they understand, just like with any other web application. This is not a feature of VFP or WC. It would be the same with ASP or Cold Fusion or any other technology.
