Learn to develop internet applications

I am not a "techi", but I need to learn how to put my VFP application on the
internet for my customers to use. Can anyone point in the direction to learn
this?

There are many options. But if you do not want to re-write your application,
take a look at Windows Terminal Server.

If you don't want to change your interface to HTML, try Terminal Services.
Otherwise, check out ActiveVFP (http://www.codeplex.com/activevfp) to make
real web applications with VFP..

Check out www.westwind.com. Rick Strahl has written web interface
tools that work quite well for creating a foxpro server backend for
web applications. I have used it for several projects and it works
quite well.
He handles all of the interface utilities and once you figure out how
to use it debugging is also quite easy. His tools allow you to
monitor internet activity, instantiate up to 32 copies of the server
(depending on customer activity) and tweak performance.
It works with VFP 6.0 and newer, although I do not recommend 6.0 be
used.
Depending on how you want to set up the client end you can use a thin
(html) interface or if your customers can do a runtime install you can
actually use VFP forms at the client end which can make it look and
work 'almost' like they are connected to the back end via a network
connection.
I have not played with asp in these scenarios, I am sure there are
others with experience there.

Hi CowBoy

just to add at the list of solutions for "webization" of VFP applications
http://www.vfp2iis.fr/?LANGUE=GB
download the trial version and test your own softs ... it's just awesome
