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.
I don't understand. Was the failed project a Web app, ASP.NET, or was it a
Winform VB.NET?
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.
OK I'll raise the anti.
Do you have to produce a quarterly update in data content for your users? We
are in the parts business and we have to digest the new vehicles and capture
how to do things in them. That is the hot button of our product I have been
told. This gives the small guy a chance at info on a Prius if one comes in.
This is close to a hundred million $ in revenue "brand" owned by Autozone.
Pulling parts data gives you more then just what you asked for inthis beast.
It gvies you the other fluff that you may need for the job at hand.
