Visual FoxPro Additional Report Description Format | N/A | Text Files |
FRT or .FRT is a file extension used by Visual FoxPro, a rapid development platform for applications and database programming. This type of file is a report memo created by the program. It stores text describing the report that has been created. It can include formatting, and include page layout details, such as margins, initialization instructions and information on form navigation. FRT files are typically stored in the same directory as other source code files or in a separate folder depending on the application.
Key Information on FRT Files
FRT files consist of character data stored in ANSI or Unicode format. They are identified as Microsoft Database Member files and can include report title, format commands such as column widths, fonts, colors, graphics, titles and subtitles. This type of file can be accessed using the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment and other commercial and open source programs like Borland Delphi. It can be exported to other formats such as HTML, XML, PDF and other documents.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FRT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FRT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FRT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FRT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FRT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FRT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FRT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FRT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FRT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FRT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
