Hi Nadya,

You should consider using postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, or MSDE as the back-end for your web app. Also, you might consider a more traditional web front-end language like php, perl, python, C, C++ for the app.

I have a web site that uses html, perl, and postgres. If you visit my site and go to the mail menu you can take a look at my query by example form used to edit mail list records. It really make it easy to perform lookups.

Visual FoxPro work extremely well in this scenario, because it can be use locally or over the internet in a two tier manner. On my web site I also have an example app that can be downloaded where Visual FoxPro can be used as a front-end client to a postgres back-end server. I can pull 16,500 records into a Visual FoxPro form that uses a VFP cursor as it control source. It only take between 5 and 8 seconds to fetch the 16,500 records. You will need Visual FoxPro 7 to run the example app as the menus were converted and cause errors in VFP 6.

I have run my web site under both Windows and Linux. Linux make a excellent platform for running a web site and at a very attractive price. You can purchase a copy of Red Hat Linux for around $40.00. It come with the Apache 2.0 web server, MySQL, portgres, perl, php, firewall, etc at no additional cost. If you so select, these app will be setup and ready to go when you perform the install from the three CDs that come with Red Hat.

I would be happy to share My HTML and perl scripts.

My web site is:
