That's one of the reasons I switched to using MySQL as a backend for my VFP apps about 4-5 years ago...I knew the new tools (especially open source) would work with it. My idea was to have a rewrite done in Dabo, Python, whatever, that would use the same backend database as my VFP app was using so that the client-server app could then be changed over to a web app much easier than just cold-turkey, using a cut-over approach piece by piece instead of just all at once. Also wanted mobile phone apps to be able to access same database (on web) with this approach. Everyone coming to the same watering hole for this app. That's my goal. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ 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.
