Your question is one that brings on a lot of debate, .NET vs VFP or moving from VFP to some other development platform to integrate with the web.

It's also a question that I don't think anyone could honestly provide the right answer without a great deal of knowledge about the design of your existing applications.

If your existing applications follow good ntier design it's possible to move much of what you have in VFP to a web interface using pretty much all VFP or a combination of ASP, ASP.NET or VB.NET, with VFP providing the logic between the data and the UI.

If your applications have not followed good ntier design, you may find re-writing it in almost anything else is going to cost you about the same as staying with an all or mostly all VFP solution.

There I think you may need to look at your market and where potential future development may be headed. If that means another development platform then go for it. The good news is that if you've assimilated VFP's object oriented model in your mind, you're ahead of the game in learning some of the newer platforms.

Also, depending upon the situation and inclinations of your customers, Wayne's mention of a Terminal Services scenario would probably require the least investment in time and effort.

In way that I could to recoup great part of that I already have developed today?
