Create an install package and have them download and install it...
How do they install the other 98% of the apps they still use that are
still NON web based?

What  are the requirements of the app?
What is it supposed to do?
Will this require a server side setup ?
Will all the users be connecting to the same server?
Who is to say that the URL isn't locked down too?

Did you develop the web based version to work across all browsers
(standards based) or assume all  users will use be forced to use  IE ?
man you would be surprised at how many FireFox installations I have seen
out there.

Will you be using an all Microsoft solution?


You haven't given anyone enough information to make an informed decision.


For me this is a piss poor argument and one I am particularly tired of
;)  It ranks right up there with "Why reinvent the wheel?" on my shit

You can distribute your VFP apps to locked down workstations by
installing everything in a single folder.

No need for .NET upgrades (a nightmare across 500 workstations spread
across the globe).

No browser dependencies or security leaks.

Hi Leland!

Yes, we need a citizen's army. I say we need about four years worth of 
universal military service, men women, "gays", white and colored alike 
including the rich kids as well. Send ten divisions of this huge army over to 
Iraq, the rest to the other axis of evil places.

Agreed.
When I was working, I allways said, we keep the data manipulation behind the

We only allow browsing from outside.

If outside wants to send info inside.
We send it to a temporary file where we have operators the next day validate

But they said the same about the Russians, and then about the Chinese, and
about the Japanese (commercial wars). So How many WW3 are you entitled
to have? If being the only superpower is not enough, then why spend so much
money time and effort in getting armed? How come USA is endangered whereas
the rest of the world is not?. Oh! so the rest of the world is counting
on USA to save the stew? Then why is USA so stupid as to be played that way
by the rest of the world?
