Sorry, to web-enable a VFP app:
Your main concern in making this transition will probably be the User Interface (screens) which will become HTML. You'll need to isolate your app logic into a VFP Class and specify the OLEPUBLIC keyword in that class. You then can call a routine that will evaluate your HTML templates that have VFP variables embedded in them. OK, I'll stop now - you really need to get your feet wet with this by trying some examples with FOXISAPI.
I would look at using VFP MTDLLs (compile VFP app to an MTDLL) and use either foxisapi(examples are included with VFP 6) or ASP (Active Server Pages). There are some good examples of using ASP VFP MTDLLs in the book "Internet Applications with VFP 6" if you can get a hold of it. It also has some examples with FOXISAPI. I would choose this route instead of most of the other 3rd party solutions since it's using primarily MS technology and also should be faster since the use of DLLs is generally faster than using EXEs.
