Jenny's correct in saying that .Net is designed for web-based apps. It does NOT mean that you should not be using VFP for them.

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.

>>>Hi John.
>>>The above statement is my interpretation to what Jenny Brown says in VFP in a .NET World article in October FoxPro Advisor .
>>>Also I don't agree with this statement but is what I think that a non VFP developer will interpretate from Jenny Brown statement.
