Umm, excuse me? We even ship a sample app with 5/6.0: FOXISAPI. You can do web apps just fine with VFP.

>Still another to create your COM objects.

Huh? What does VFP lack for creating COM objects? I create them just fine, and they can take a hell of a pounding, judging from my testing. (Come to Orlando to see the numbers. I was impressed.)
