I think you have 2 options to present to them:
1.) possibly the easiest, ms terminal server or citrix access
2.) make into a real web app by converting GUI screens into HTML templates and compiling classes into a .vfp. mtdll and calling from ASP or ASP.NET. If your app is designed from the get-go with this sort of web access in mind, this can be fairly easy.
.VFP. web services doesn't sound like what they want. With web services, you'd still use a GUI but the methods might be located some place else on another web server. It sounds like they want to access the web app from a browser not a GUI...
