Hi Niall:

Something like Dreamweaver could be one of the tools in your toolbox for developing the HTML template aspects of your web apps. The other tools you mention like Web Connect, FoxWeb etc., either provide the plumbing for your app and/or a scripting engine to execute Fox code in ASP type pages, as opposed to having to use JavaScript or some other non-Fox scripting language. Which combination of tools thereafter can be a bit of a tough choice.

With VFP7 and a new start, the "default" route appears to be using ASP.Net. However, that route would suggest using Fox as an MTDLL to house your business logic (or use the Fox OLEDb provider to access Fox data/SP's) and would really leave the scripting and web pages squarely non-Fox. ASP.net supports scripting in the .Net languages and JScript/VB script etc.,

If you want to keep to an all Fox solution, then Web Connect, FoxWeb or AFP all support scripting using Fox code.

ActiveVFP uses the MTDLL approach. Visual Webbuilder is a discontinued EPS product, replaced by the Voodoo web controls. FoxISAPI is not going to be enhanced by MS as it's focus for VFP developers is to use VFP with ASP.net.

HTH
