Personally, I've had problems finding any area in the business world where FoxPro doesn't work really well. At any rate, .NET purports (is that the right word <g>) to be THE MS solution for Enterprise Web Services, regardless of how well VFP stacks up.

True. Actually we do have a built-in word processor in our FoxPro apps, but I guess that doesn't count since it's an ActiveX control. At any rate, I should have said "database world" instead of "business world".
