Creating a Project

  • Article

Using the Project Manager, you can quickly familiarize yourself with Visual FoxPro. The Project Manager provides an easy, visual way to organize and work with tables, forms, databases, reports, queries, and other files when you are managing tables and databases or creating an application.

If you have your own set of tables from earlier versions of FoxPro, you can add them to a project immediately to see how Visual FoxPro works. If you have other data you want to organize (be it in spreadsheets, text files, or tables from other applications), you can import it into Visual FoxPro and add it to a project.

You can create a new project at any time by choosing the New option from the File menu.

To create a new project

  1. From the File menu, choose New.
  2. Select Project and choose New File.
  3. In the Create dialog box, select where to save the project and type the name you want to assign to the new project.
  4. Choose Save.

To help you become familiar with Visual FoxPro, you can also use the sample files that are provided. These samples are in folders within the Visual FoxPro ...\Samples directory.
