There are a couple choices, but given your experience level and the need to get it running quickly, your best option IMO is to install a virtual machine on the Mac and then install Windows XP on the virtual machine, and run your VFP app on Windows XP like normal. I hear WINE[1] runs VFP9 apps out of the box now, and if you have a newer (Intel) Mac, WINE runs on Mac natively. But you are still going to need to spend a significant amount of time testing and tweaking. The customer will need to purchase a full copy of Windows XP, plus perhaps the Virtual Machine. Parallels[2] Desktop would probably edge out VMWare[3] at this point, but there are definitely some annoying things about Parallels.
