if you want to build web based applications or n-tier applications you shouldn't use VFP
<<

Who said this? I would like to see this statement defended on the technical merits. VFP is a great tool for building traditional desktop apps with local data/remote data, multi-tier C/S apps, and web-based apps. It can fit into a .Net environment via web services. It can fit into an existing environment via COM.

There are scores of people who have built web-based applications, and as somebody who does A LOT of n-tier C/S work with the product, the statement above is void of any technical merit.
