I would recommend you visit:

www.asp.net -- click on MVC on the top bar.  Install the FREE Visual Studio 
Express (which is 100% fine for what you're building).  Then, follow a 
couple of the complete, end-to-end examples.  You will see how the entire 
system works from front-end to SQL backend.

     Well, if I am going to be seriously using SQL Server, I need a
platform for the front-end.

     One of my co-workers has put together a number of feeder apps to
my app.  He has written them in Access.

     I will take a look at .Net -- I have not worked with it
previously -- and skip on VFP if I can.
