Chris,

I just spent some time looking at your WWC app. How long did it take to convert the app to the web? weeks, months, years?

I had been playing around with WC for about a year and a half or so. I would get the demo up and going, follow some or Rick's tutorial steps and then have to do some real work. Next time I got back to it, Rick would have a new version out and I would download that and start the process over again.

Finally, in december or january I decided to actually do it. Along with working on all of my desktop (or client-server products), I would say it took me from January to May to get it where I wanted. During that time I had to learn some HTML, javascript, stateless programming, Internet/NT/hacker security. I wish I had kept a good project log and really tracked the man-hours -- but I didn't. If I had to guess, I would say 400-500 man hours (????)

Also, are u hosting it yourself - on a server in your office? Or are you using a hosting company? Am curious about the monthly costs.

I am using iqNetworks out of Charlottesville, Viginia. I bought the compaq server and they are co-locating it for me for $100 per month and $35 for e-mail services (i didn't want to build and take care of a mail server too!). It cost about $360 in setup and they allowed me physical access and gave me a lot of free help (Note: they can't do that for everyone, obviously). Contact is Win Winfree at wwinfree@entrechv.com .

What is the backend? VFP, SQL, ...

That version is using VFP, but there is no reason I couldn't use SQL*Server or Oracle. I just did VFP because I was in a hurry and it works great!

Hope this helps,

Kevin
