| Visual FoxPro Compiled Database Format | Microsoft | Database Files |
The FXP file extension is associated with Visual FoxPro, a database development and management system created by Microsoft. FXP stands for “FoxPro compiled database” and the FXP file stores an application comprised of text, data, and code written in FoxPro programming language. These files can be used for a variety of applications, such as managing financial data for small businesses or creating software applications.
Technical Details
An FXP file contains compiled data tables with indexes, field properties, validation rules, menus, program source code, library entries, form objects and form classes, and more. The file is saved in a binary format for faster loading and access time. Because the code in the file is compiled, it is limited to use with the same version of Visual FoxPro that was used to create the program. To make the compiled code available on computers that don’t have Visual FoxPro installed, developers should use the FoxPro 2.x compatible FLL (library) or APP (executable) components.
Similar File Extensions
FoxPro uses a variety of other file types in creating its applications, including PRG (source code) files, DBF (database), SCX (screen) files and FRX (report) files. Additional Microsoft proprietary file format extensions associated with Visual FoxPro include VFP (project), MPR (menu), LBX (label) and VCX (class).
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FXP) 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 .FXP 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 .FXP 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 .FXP 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 .FXP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FXP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FXP 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 .FXP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FXP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FXP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
