I am not a developer for hire, but do all the database management for our firm: programming, reporting, analysis and training. Without FoxPro/Mac, we would need twice the staff and would probably still not be as efficient.

Bette,
I can see your problem. There is some consolation in two known items: 1st, that the Mac will be getting ActiveX objects, which means that you can run stuff from browsers; and 2nd, that VFP6 will support ASP. So, you only need 1 NT server, and all the rest of the machines in the house can be Macs.
