Doug,
>You will not be able to create web applications with VFP 7.0 alone. You will still need to use a 3rd party product such as Westwind, ColdFusion, etc. to produce the web pages.
????
You can produce web pages just fine with VFP of any version -- after all, a web page is nothing but a bunch of text. The other products can provide the glue to hold it all together -- taking the handoff from IIS, calling into your code, and returning to IIS the web page you produced. Some of the 3rd party products also provide classes to help with the creation of HTML, but they are not required.
VFP can also handle that with FOXISAPI.
>Still another to create your COM objects.
VFP can create COM objects, and they can be called from the products above or from ASP.
