Jess..
Just a few comments. In the VS .Net world, the language is secondary to the architecture. The fact that VFP is not a .Net language is not nearly as important as the fact that VFP can publish and consume web services. For an example of a form that consumes the FoxCentral web service. go to
www.mainlinesoftware.com and download the VFP 7 form I created.
I hope this clarifies the issue a bit...
