Alex,

Fair enough.

I think I'd be in favor of this as well.

These scripts can be full VFP programs including forms or using the new InputBox command you can ask questions without designing a form for them and then act on the results. Think of the possibility to easily create builders for developers to use.

Yes. This will take a little while but I think there's gold to be found there for the folks who are able to create good tools.

Yup.

You bet - I see this as a huge help for those who generate HTML forms, etc.

If Markus delivers on what was shown (and the demo made it look easy), it seems to me that you could port a VMP LAN app to the web and have keep the same look and feel in a browser! (Grids would have to work but they were not shown in VooDoo yet). I asked Travis Vandersypen and he confirmed that this is certainly possible. You could "VooDooize" a VMP app with frmNav2Pages and any new business objects we can use in VMP6 and put it on the web!

I am extremely interested in this.

I'm sorry to hear that Alex. Of course, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers..
