>>The DON (Department of US Navy) released their guidelines for web development. In this document they describe the framework to be used for developing web applications. Its N-tier with XML for messaging. Sounds good! However, VFP does not appear on their list of tools for developing these applications, but Access does. AFAIK, you can't develop these kinds of applications using Access! And C# is also on list and its not even viable yet. It just goes to show how little respect VFP gets despite the fact that it fits in very well as a middle tier object in their proposed framework.

Yeah we have use for VFP here and so far no one is throwing any DON standards down my throat, but I have attended a few IT meetings lately where we have been told to move our VFP desk top appilcations to the Web. But they never said not to use VFP as the back end database or FoxWeb as the HTML front end.

Right now I am more worried about NMCI and what it will do to me than I worry about DON application standards for the web. If you don't know what NMCI is then you are lucky, but if you work for the Navy or Marines in the computer fields then you know what I am going through.
