Hi Cindy to me will continues means that the role of VFP is to build robust Client/server applications so if you want to build web based applications or n-tier applications you shouldn't use VFP, please note that n-tier applications is not the same as client/server applications so why should any company bet on a development tool that is geared to client/server to build any system different from that.
