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.
