Open FPW File

An FPW file is typically referred to as a FoxPro Project Windows file. Developed by Microsoft, this format usually contains project related data and settings for FoxPro for Windows, a database management system. However, FPW file extensions are not just linked to FoxPro. They could be associated to other programs.

Using FPW Files with FoxPro

FPW files are primarily associated with FoxPro, a member of class of languages known as "xBase" language, which has its roots in the dBase set of products, and works on the principle of more than a dozen cross-platform implementations, most often with underlying client-server databases.

A FoxPro FPW file acts as the project file used to manage settings like screen resolution and printer settings. Whenever a FoxPro application runs, it looks for a default FPW file, typically named `config.fpw`. To open and modify these files, one would have to use the Microsoft Visual FoxPro software. More details about Visual FoxPro and links to resources can be found on Microsoft's official page, here.

FPW file extensions could also be associated with FloorPlan 3D project files. FloorPlan 3D is a software used to design home interiors. Here, the FPW file could contain room designs, floor layouts, or other project related information.

To open FPW files using this software, the user would need to install IMSI FloorPlan 3D on their system. Further information can be obtained from IMSIdesign's official website.
