You can create your web services in VFP as your middle tier which can be easily connected to SQL Server or a VFP data store. If you want to use a thin client front end, definitely use ASP.net. It works real well with VFP web services. All you have to do is set a reference inside .net to the WSDL file and you can use your VFP web service like it was a native object. If you want a fat VFP client, just register your web serice with intellisence and it will write the code for you to instantiate web service, then use it like a native object.

A word of caution though. If things stop working and your sure its not your code, reinstall SOAP Toolkit and or .NET. I got burned by this once and ended up pulling my hair out for days.
