I found this Q&A on the Microsoft VFP 7 website. This Q&A applied to VFP 7. I was wondering if the same Q&A holds true for VFP 6? Or I guess what I am really asking is... Is there any really big advantage upgrading from VFP 6 to VFP 7 in terms of web application development capability?
Thank you.
The following text was copied and pasted from the Microsoft website in order to ask my question pertaining to VFP 6.
Can I use VFP to build web apps?
Visual FoxPro COM components can be used with Internet Information Services (IIS) to build high-powered Internet database applications. This is because Visual FoxPro components can be called from Active Server Pages (ASP). The components will retrieve and manipulate data, and will build some of the HTML returned to the user. A direct route is also available through the FoxISAPI library, taking IIS directly to the component. In this case, the component is responsible not only for working with data, but also for constructing the entire HTML page. These two approaches can also be combined.
