We're migrating from Crystal Reports, SAS/FOCUS on Mainframe, and alot of MS Access reports. So far we have not uncovered anything WF can not handle.
You do not need to limit yourself to just FOCUS language either. We are using some SQL and the Dialog Manager Within the FOC EXECs. You will need some HTML, JavaScript and other web languages if developing web applications.

We have used Focus very successfully in a client server environment.
We are currently converting the application into a Web Application using
Web Focus, ASP, HTML, VB Scripting because we want to eliminate the deployment to 300 or so users located across the U.S. So far our existing files are converting
relatively easy - minimum code changes. We do miss, however, the Report Viewer format that was available with desk top focus and is not available with Web Focus. Web Focus uses Adobe Acrobate (internet standard) to display reports. We have enhanced our reports module to allow users to select either .PDF (adobe) or .XLS (Excel) format and then we use a onpchold as excel command. This works for
creating a simple excel output. Our previous platform was MS Access for the reports which we were less than happy with.
