Is there a way to do this?
Specifically I would like to run an ordinary vfp9 sp2 app in a browser, however, I would like to hear about any other
options.
If this is not possible, howe about running a terminal services client on the ipad? That would work for me as I do that
now on a laptop.

Logmein.com is your friend. However you do loose a machine at the remote end
as this is the machine actually running your apps.
I don't know about the TS side on tht iPad but I can run a remote T/S
Session on my iPhone using WinAdmin (http://iphonewinadmin.com/) despite the
limited screen estate so it should be just the same on the iPad but I don't
know about the larger screen area being available.. The advantage over
Logmein of course is that you don't need
A dedicated server side PC.

Yes and No. I don't think anyone's trying to run Windows on an iPad,
so VFP runtimes won't run, either.

VFP runs fine in a web browser, if you write a Web Connect appl.

Searching for RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) on iPad yields a lot of
hits. Looks like there are some apps that would do that.

Can the iPad run legacy 680x0 Mac apps? If so VFP 3 for Mac will run!

That's what we are using to run our VFP7 app on the iPad. I think the
software is by Wyse and quite cheap, but can't ask my boss who set it up
as he's on holiday. Mostly works fine but we run only a couple of
screens on it with no menu. You have to make sure buttons / combos etc
are large enough to select and limit keyboard input to a minimum. Nice
and flashy for showing pictures to clients but not very practical for
day to day use.

I'm no expert, but I believe the iPad is a Pad not a Mac. And not a
PPC Mac. Not OS X even. It's more of an iPod/iTouch appliance with
oversized screen than a general purpose computer.
But I don't have one and am just going from what I've read.
"VFP3 for Mac will run!" is a bit of an exaggeration for any platform,
I'm afraid. I did some cross-platform FoxPro 2.6 DOS/Win/Mac app
development, but VFP3/Mac seemed pretty troubled.

The iPad (or Fondle Slab as I like to call it) runs iOS like the iTouch
and iPhone do. So your only hope of seeing a non-iOS application on it
is via a native RDP client or similar. In which case the app won't be
running on the iPad at all, of course.

Several people responded with various solutions including something from Wyse.
Someone at the apple store recommended 'Jump' to access RDP and VNC. Anyone know about this? I googled it and several
hits say it is the best way. As long as your VFP app has mostly buttons and not much typing it looks good. Also some
suggested paring a bluetooth keyboard with the ipad to help with typing. This would still be lighter and maybe smaller
than a netbook but they all seem to be merging. The big hangup with my VFP app is the typing I guess.
