Nick,

So how can you read this VFP code out of the page and compile it just once on the webserver? How will the server know that it's been compiled without doing additional file I/O?

I don't think you can have all the freeform, dynamic features you are wanting without some cost in compile time and file I/O. Why fight the server? If you have VFP based code do it in a COM and call it from a page. If you are using ASP just use VB code in there.
