>I was wondering if, with the new 7.0, is there a simple way to make an existing app based upon forms and a database into an internet app?

Generally, no, unless you're looking at a thick client app that uses the VFP forms & menus and merely uses HTTP for transfering the data from a centralized server.

If you're looking to build a thin-client HTML app, then you can forget about VFP forms, menus & toolbars etc. as that does not apply to a browser environment. In this case, you would need to compile all your VFP code as COM components (multi-threaded DLL's) and access them from ASP (Active Server Pages).

If you want all your coding to be done in VFP, you can use a third-party product like West Wind WebConnect (www.west-wind.com) and/or the infamous Voodoo Web Controls (www.epssoftware.com I think).

In any event, VFP 7 may give you a few tools that facilitate web development (XML file generation, HTML generator for forms etc.) but the differences between Windows and web apps still exists at the fundamental level.

Hope this helps,
