>our company is now in the process of rewriting our VFP7 application to use SQl as backend. We're thinking about a Web aplication since we have customers in USA and all around our country. We are taking some trainings of SQl sever too, we heard about N-tier app and we are wondering: is VFP8 the best for this kind of thing? is .Net? what do you guys think according to your experience?

At the end of the day this will depend on the complexity of your OO paradigm, VFP can do a great deal with classes etc., but .Net is more advanced OO language and IMO would be the better choice if you want total freedom and flexibility at your hands.

I'm working on a 3-tier app at the moment and have had to work-around some of the obstacles faced due to certain limits within VFP, most that wouldn't have been a problem with .Net. Although I have to stress that the model I'm working to isn't the most straight-forward.

Like I said, it will depend on how complex your architecture is going to be, and that will be difficult to determin at the beginning of your project. VFP can do a LOT, but .Net is just that little bit more "true" to proper OO.
