I hear ya, and understand your pov, but I'm thinking of some vertical apps where they'd be subscription based, and having a rich/smart/fat VFP9 app on the client accessing that web data would be my approach. Paul McNett had made mention recently about some scenario where he was storing data locally and yet replicating it elsewhere (like on the web?). That's a foggy recollection, so perhaps he could clarify. I'm not sure his app was even a Fox app for that matter, but the idea sounded good. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
