Steve: I just picked up a job re-writing a web application using VFP. It was written in .NET for the desktop. Compare navigating web pages vs. VFP with multiple windows open. It was an easy sell for me. Also, reports never worked right.
We have one application on terminal services and it has a whole new set of problems besides having to deal with passwords expiring, Networking taking the system down, system backups and maintenance interfering with the 24/7 operation just to name a few. If the application will be used on desktops and intranets, I prefer a desktop application. If it is a web application, then I would prefer the web. My 2 cents.
