Can Dbase Compile Visual Foxpro Source Code? |
|
Answer» Most of the old XBASE commands that run on VFP will also run on dBASE EXCEPT in cases where FoxPro diverged from the dBASE syntax or invented new syntax. However, the newer object ORIENTED features in VFP, such as Forms, Entryfields, PushButton's etc are very different from the equivalent dBASE features. At this time there are no conversion tools available to convert from VFP to dBASE Plus. However, we have compiled 3 text files that show how VISUAL FoxPro commands map to dBASE Plus.
Some of these items can be replicated in dBASE by using add-on LIBRARIES or by custom coding.
