>We have a FoxPro for Windows 2.6 application (consisting of 10 or more .EXE files). We are about to convert this application into VFP 5.0. Now "the powers that be" want it on our flegling intranet site. How do we do this? Will we have to totally rewrite the application using Visual Interdev or Cold Fusion or can we run a VFP 5 .EXE directly from a browser such as IE3 or IE4?

i think VFP 6 will create active x documents. they are documents ( basically your vfp forms ) that will display in the browser. this i think will work on IE 3.01 and above. then again vfp 6 is not out. we've played around with activex documents a little bit here with VB and they're pretty cool.
if you're going to use IE 4.0, i think rick strahl has a class available on his website ( www.west-wind.com ) that will convert your vfp 5 forms into dynamic html. this solution will only work with IE 4.

there are probably lots of other things you could try. it really depends on what you are trying to do and what your limitations are.
here at work we standardized on IE so we don't have to worry about if netscape supports a certain technology or not.

i'm working on coming up with solutions to get some of our fox stuff onto our intranet so if you want to talk about it more, send me email.
