Yes, VFP 6 works great, but, make sure you've got SP5(fixes all mutithreading issues). VFP 7 does add some nice features for web apps, though. Interactive debugging of COM servers using the test harness API is one. Another is ExecScript and new TEXT features which make it fairly easy to embed VFP code blocks in HTML.

>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.
