And lastly, if the web hosting is done on-site, you can of course use the OLE-DB VFP driver from ASP.NET to read-write directly to the VFP tables. A good approach is to use a tiered design with objects talking to the backend and those objects accessed via the ObjectDataSource class, which integrates very well with GridView, DetailsView and FormView. With a tiered design, you can write initially to VFP tables and later change just that part of the code to instead access a backend database if you ever move the main app off of VFP tables, or if you move from internal hosting to external.
