Thanks Larry.
ColdFusion is one of the products I was looking at. I also looked some at ASP but that looked like it would be hard to manage in a large project. Does the data access part of ColdFusion have to be coded in the page like ASP?

>>I have a big web project (actually two of them) coming up and I am trying to make a decision on what tool I should be using. The question here is if there is a good reason to stay with VFP or not. The one big plus to VFP is it is a language that I know and understand. Are there any others? I have played a little with WWC and is seems to work ok. This project will require a lot of database work and, eventually, will be processing an excess of 1 million credit card transactions a year. I am looking for thoughts, opinions from anyone that have been there, done that before.

I've been impressed with this as a very quick way to get things up and running, with terrific error-checking. It integrates well with Dreamweaver, and also has its own GUI, ColdFusion Studio, which is very fine.
