>The fact is, .NET can create web services natively. Whether this translates into a demonstratively better thing, that remains to be seen. Again, it was my intent to qualify my comment. In the end, I did say that I don't think there is much that can be done in .NET that cannot be done in VFP. This is a techical issue however, one that does not rule the roost.

PMFJI, but this is a topic that I would like to know more. What does ".NET can create web services natively" means. Basically, I would like to know how is it different than building a Web Service in VFP.
