VFP as Compiled Executable Files

VFP files are often compiled into full standalone EXE files. These files can be directly opened by the Windows operating system to run the application, which will then interact with the VFP file data. For instance, you can open and run these applications on your PC to view or edit the VFP database without having to install Visual FoxPro. Various related programs like FoxPro Application and others can also open VFP file.

Visual FoxPro allows you to directly open and manipulate VFP file data. Microsoft itself provides various resources on how to interact with VFP files using Visual FoxPro, specifically the official Visual FoxPro documentation.

VFP File Conversion

VFP files can also be converted to a more standard and widely used format, such as CSV or XLSX. Several dedicated tools like Fantastic DBF Converter, DBF Viewer 2000 and Full Convert are capable of converting VFP files to other formats. Take note that since VFP files have a specific structure and type of information, ensure that nothing is lost in the conversion, and the new file provides all the data as intended.

Visual FoxPro Base Classes

Generally, base classes in Visual FoxPro don't create visual objects; instead, they provide the functionality for the visual classes. Network communication, data access, and file access are among the non-visual objects that VFP base classes deal with.

It's essential to understand that VFP files are not meant to be opened manually by the user. Instead, they are referred to by the appropriate software when needed. Attempting to open it manually could cause accidental modifications leading to problems with the associated software.
