Hi Allen;
I'm a one man shop and in order to use Foxweb on my two development systems (notebook and desktop) I have to purchase two development versions of the software at $99 each. Looking at the competing products, you can get the development versions for free. AFP, West-Wind and Active VFP are all available at no cost to the developer. As a developer, I've learned the hard way to maintain more than one development system at any given time, therefore having to pay twice for a development version of a product doesn't seem resonable. The project that I'm currently working on requires only one URL, so the total cost is $450 (2x$99 + $250) which is less than AFP, but a bit more than West-Wind. Difinitly more than Active VFP ;)
Price aside, I absolutly agree with you on the learning curve using Foxweb. As I evaluated all the solutions on the market, I chose to go with Foxweb as it seems to be the easiest to debug of all the other solutions and the support has been good.
Regards
Kia

www.foxweb.com as well. Very well documented and supported, a bit pricy tho.

It is not the cheapest product on the market, but neither is it the most expensive of the more popular 'VFP on the web' products. At around 150 GBP for a single-server version and 60 GBP for a developer version I think it is excellent value, especially when you take into account the relatively easy learning-curve and installation.
