I would stay away from Active Documents if I were you. The problem is that they must have the VFP runtime on the client, and if the client tries to start the app without having it, they have to wait for it to download to the local machine.

The other problem is with accessing data. The data directory must be mapped the same way on each client. You can't just use relative pathing, the way you would in an app that runs on a common server.
