>Tracy, what would you suggest if you were to have a client that needed a database app for the MAC?

If you'd like to stick with VFP for this, you can by either creating a thin client HTML based application using or an XML Web service that can be controlled by a Rich client written for the Mac.

This means all the UI will be left to the Mac side of things, and all the database stuff can be handled by a VFP server on a Windows machine. It doesn't need to run over the Web, keep in mind, a LAN will work just as well.
