I've installed Visual FoxPro driver from this on my 64 Bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS and tried to register vfpoledb.dll using REGSVR32. I could able to register this dll but when run my application which accesses VFP database is throwing the following error: System.InvalidOperationException: The 'VFPOLEDB.1' provider is not registered on the local machine. The same application is working fine in 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS without any issues. I have googled for 64 bit VFP driver and found out that there are no VFP drivers for 64 bit OS from this. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Visual FoxPro culminated a line of software that originated in 1984 under the name FoxBASE, and that was later known simply as FoxPro before becoming VFP in 1995, three years after acquired the technology. Together, VFP and its predecessors were among the top PC database platforms when that was a vibrant product category in the 1980s and early 1990s, before the market shifted toward higher-level (RDBMS), such as and. In the heyday of PC databases, the FoxPro line competed primarily with dBase, an earlier technology on which it was based - making it one of several so-called xBase clones that were built to work like dBase. Later, under Microsoft's ownership, VFP evolved from a procedural language to an object-oriented one, supporting the development of 32-bit applications, code reuse and web services. Key Visual FoxPro features Affectionately referred to by users as the Fox, Visual FoxPro includes an object-oriented programming language and a database engine that are tightly coupled together. Microsoft positioned VFP as a set of developer tools, not a stand-alone (DBMS) like SQL Server. In fact, use of the Visual FoxPro database isn't required as part of VFP applications.
Despite the tight coupling, the built-in engine can be supplanted by SQL Server if users want more robust security, reliability, replication and other database features. The VFP platform bundles together tools for organizing database tables, querying data and programming end-user applications, plus predefined with foundational elements that can be added to applications.
It also offers productivity tools and features designed to further simplify the process of developing, maintaining and reusing code; for example, user forms that can be docked to applications and the ability to save system properties and custom user interface settings for later use. Visual FoxPro supports Microsoft's SOAP Toolkit, another discontinued, but still downloadable technology that enables applications to connect to XML web services via the (SOAP). In addition, VFP includes an (ODBC) driver, which enables data in Visual FoxPro to be queried and updated from Excel, Word and Microsoft Access via an ODBC interface. The Visual FoxPro ODBC driver also enables developers to use the VFP database as the data store for applications written in, Microsoft Visual C and Microsoft.
Visual FoxPro history and versions FoxBASE was initially developed by the former Fox Software, which changed the technology's name to FoxPro in 1989. Microsoft bought Fox Software in 1992, one year after the latter released a FoxPro 2.0 update. In early 1993, Microsoft shipped the first Windows version of the software, which previously ran on, Mac and Unix systems. The product's name was changed to Microsoft Visual FoxPro when the next major version, VFP 3.0, was released in 1995. Microsoft released five more versions from 1996 to 2004, skipping version 4.0 and going right to 5.0, and ending with Visual FoxPro 9.0. It stopped development work on the database after making Visual FoxPro 9.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) available in October 2007, as well as issuing a 9.0 add-on pack resulting from a project code-named Sedna in January 2008. The Sedna pack included several features for extending VFP 9.0's integration with SQL Server, Visual Studio and elements of the Microsoft framework.
Intensive language immersion programs. Despite the Sedna add-ons and the inclusion of Visual in its name, Microsoft VFP wasn't part of either Visual Studio or.NET. Microsoft described Visual FoxPro and Visual Studio as complimentary technologies that were compatible in some areas, such as support for XML.

But it maintained VFP as a stand-alone database development platform and didn't create a.NET version of the VFP language. VFP end-of-life support and continued use Microsoft announced in March 2007 that Visual FoxPro 9.0 would be the last version of the software. It didn't replace VFP with another technology. Instead, the company narrowed its database strategy to focus on SQL Server as its mainstream RDBMS platform and Access as a lighter-weight database for use with Office applications. Microsoft ended mainstream technical support for Visual FoxPro 9.0 in January 2010, and extended support ended in January 2015, officially signaling its end of life. However, as of May 2017, users can still download VFP 9.0 SP2 from Microsoft's website, along with product documentation, the Sedna add-on pack, and several utilities and security patches. Visual FoxPro 8.0 Service Pack 1, which was released in 2003, also remains available for download.
In addition, a community-based initiative to develop open source extensions and add-ons for Visual FoxPro 9.0 continues to operate. The VFPX initiative includes the Sedna technologies, which Microsoft released as open source code.
VFPX had been hosted on the company's CodePlex open source project site, but moved to in 2017 because of Microsoft's shutdown of CodePlex. VFP 9.0 system requirements Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 only runs on some older versions of the Windows operating system: Service Pack 4, Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista. It requires at least 64 MB of memory, but Microsoft recommends 128 MB or more. A typical installation also needs 165 MB of disk space, according to the company.
The Visual FoxPro database is limited to a capacity of 2 GB per table, due partly to its 32-bit architecture. SQL Server, which includes 64-bit support, is a more realistic option for organizations that need larger tables and more scalable databases, as well as ongoing technical support. Visual FoxPro source code examples Microsoft's website provides code samples for various operations in Visual FoxPro. This snippet shows how to combine data from country and customer tables via a full outer join function. SELECT Country., Customer.country, Customer.custid; FROM testdata!customer FULL JOIN country; ON Customer.country = Country.country And here's a longer sample that illustrates how to use a stored procedure to create a unique default ID value for a database field: FUNCTION NewID(tcAlias) LOCAL lcAlias, lnID, lcOldReprocess, lnOldArea lnOldArea = SELECT IF PARAMETERS. VFP is used on many CORE (+15 years) legacy systems in many Companys, including some multinationals, but on the latter there is an active working going on to replace it with more modern and supported technologies.
Replacing VFP is not a trivial work, because those systems must be maintained/updated while the replacing parts are made, which make the transition longer and difficult. At the same time, some of those replacing parts are aging so quickly that in some cases there is working going on the 2nd generation replacement parts, because some of those new technologies are based on parts now discontinued or approaching their end of life cycle.

One problem that are facing the replacing parts in other technologies is that, because VFP is a RAD, the speed on which the new features are implemented/updated in VFP is difficult to keep on those new tecnologies, but this problem is more related to bad migration desitions than with the technology perse.

Sorry to take a negative stand on this, but I am not about to trust my clients' applications to a tool written by an anonymous developer, from an unknown country, who clearly lacks the simplest of marketing skills, and who - as Dr D so rightly says - might be skirting the fringes of legality. I am not commenting on the technical quality of the product. He might well be a brilliant developer.
But would you buy a critical tool from someone who won't even put his name on his website? Mike Mike Lewis (Edinburgh, Scotland) RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 7 Aug 15 17:54.
Well, MS has been supportive of community development of the product since they killed it at least, and at best, they don't care at all. BTW China is not an unknown country. And there are many brilliant minds there. If you go to the home page (and you read Chinese) there is a lot of information about the who. MS abandoned us in my view. The legality is the least of my concern. Look at FoxIn Cloud.
Not really any different. Best Regards, Scott ATS, CDCE, CTIA, CTDC 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler.' RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 8 Aug 15 08:16.
MS abandoned us in my view. The legality is the least of my concern. Look at FoxIn Cloud. Not really any different. Yes, I've been thinking about that.
And the more I think about it, the more I think that there could be a problem. It is not at all the same as FoxInCloud because FoxInCloud makes no claims to actually be FoxPro. It is clearly a distinct product, albeit one that aims to be compatible in many ways with the original. By contrast, the product under discussion actually claism to be a new version of FoxPro. It is even named FoxPro 10. Clearly, he is leaving himself open to a passing-off action, at the very least.
And let's not think for one minute that Microsoft wouldn't bother with such an action. Microsoft have definitely not 'legally abandoned' their product. As with all large American corporations, they employ highly-paid lawyers whose job it is to go after anyone - anywhere in the world - that they can build a case against.
I stress that I am not criticising this product on its technical merits. I am simply saying that I wouldn't risk my business or my professional reputation on a tool with such a dodgy basis. Mike Mike Lewis (Edinburgh, Scotland) RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 8 Aug 15 09:16.
Mike, I suggest you study law a bit closer if you think 'FoxInCloud makes no claims to actually be FoxPro'. It doesn't have to make any such claim to be violating the same legal issue. In my view VFP 10 is at least a bit more honest. They aren't trying to shield it. FiC, really, from legal standpoint, SAME THING. And your comment about China is just misinformed.
Don't buy into the propaganda. If this was from England would you feel different? Best Regards, Scott ATS, CDCE, CTIA, CTDC 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler.' RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 8 Aug 15 15:38.
Scott, Read my post. I never made any comment - positive or negative - aobut China.
My post doesn't mention China. My point was that, before doing business with anyone - a person or a company - you need to know which country he is in - for obvious legal and contractual reasons. The fact that the country in question happens to be China is completely irrelevant. The only information I have about this product is what I read on the page that Mike Gagnon linked to. That page contains no contact information of any kind, no information to identify the author, and no links to any other page that might contain that information.
That's why I described it as anonymous and from an unknown country. Mike Mike Lewis (Edinburgh, Scotland) RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 8 Aug 15 15:46. See, this is healthy conversation about it now. And like Griff, I did the same thing. Just backed upward on the URL list until I got to the home page.
So his web site doesn't link back easily if you navigate to a direct page, but it doesn't diminish what he's done, or make it less useful because someone put a link into a non-navigable page. That was my point. This is perception issue, he's actually quite forthcoming in who/what/where they are.S Best Regards, Scott ATS, CDCE, CTIA, CTDC 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler.' RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 06:08.
Mike still has a point about the legal aspect of this compiler. One of the products they offer - VFP Advanced 32bit - takes the original VFP9 and makes a patch. This has to be done with knowledge you can only get through decompilation and that alone is an illegal act. The decompiled code also is the basis of the 64bit version. I haven't read anything from Chen at Foxite, so I will stop at this point. I'm just saying in germany it would be illegal to use such a product and so to me it simply doesn't exist. As I said: There is no 64bit version from MS.
RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 08:35. Here are a few observations: 1. His version of the compiler creates a C executable and one or two DLLs that contains the functionalities of the applications.
![]()
Which makes DEcompilation of the application practically impossible. Most of his changes are contained in.h files.
He uses Visual Studio's compiler to compile the application. He does not use FoxPro executables to turn them into 64 bit executables, but rather uses FoxPro projects. So if he uses visual studio's compiler to arrive at his final product, I am not sure about the legality of it. I only used it for testing, but Peter Sass actually has his application installed on client's sites.
Mike Gagnon If you want to get the best response to a question, please check out first. RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 10:45. Scott, you're taking the point of view of a morality and loyality and justify your choice. Much revenge is based on such thoughts and I don't follow that.
It doesn't convince me, that MS is a big company who could simply ignore the missing revenue, as they already did by abandoning the product. It doesn't convince me a being unfair, that MS as such a big comany could enforce its trademark and copyrights. These laws are made without looking at how big or small a company is. Making exceptions of rules makes them useless, even if they seem unfair at a time. Law is there to be interpreted, yes, but the intention is good, whether it's protecting a single author of a novel or a big comany. I an also talk about this i more detai, as I know someone else having gone a route of extending VFP life, Christof Wollenhaupt. He has adandoned hi Guineu projet and made it open source (see ).
He went the route of not changing VFP itself but creating a new.NET based runtime for the bytecode VFP generates. He made use of his MVP detail knowledge on VF, but this approach is more like offering an extension to unbind VFP code from the dependencies of root OS functions, which one day could vanish and making VFP compiled fxp work on the.NET framework. I don't know the details, but I know he was discussing with MS and some developers of VFP itself, most probably Ken Levy and Calvin Hsia. The outcome is that, so there must be some legal issues when you would begin selling such a product aside of profitability thoughts, which might make a big difference in Germany and China. I see the C Compiler as another thing, it's transforming VFP code into C, that's nothing infringing MS copyrights, just trademarks, and that could be avoided easily. It nevertheless has to have a basis on some base code giving you the VFP base classes of VFP from such low level nonvisual things as a datasession up to the controls.
All this is not part of any code to be translated, all that is core VFP so you don't get around of infringing some of the core work and copyright of VFP. At the end of it there is a discussion about software patents and I won't like to go in detail into that. I share some disgust about given patents like a one click shopping cart and other such state of the art things, simply by the definition of the patentability requirements. This is where we are now and ignoring it as nonsnese doesn't give you rights. RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 11:32. Not claiming any rights.
Just still don't see aside from 'VFP 10' how this is any different from the open source / fox in cloud / VFPX (which also uses the 'VFP' moniker). If you want to get down to the legalities of this, the fact that MS ignores these for years only dilutes their hold that much more. They can't arbitrarily allow one group to use it, and not another. From a legal perspective, that becomes precedent, and unless they have some other agreement with one of these parties, the usage of 'VFP 10' isn't going to mean much.
I get your moral/ethical challenge here. I'm only pointing out that MS has eroded this so far for so long, there is little really to consider. Best Regards, Scott ATS, CDCE, CTIA, CTDC 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler.'
RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 12:47. Now you ony take it from the trademark. But the things you mention are not replacing VFP, they are extending it or translating it. I'll just take out Fox in cloud.
It's taking your executables 1:1, it's just converting the forms and controls to html and so they were reworking the visual base controls and classes. The htmlified form running in your browser is turning clicks into request to an IIS to call into your code. It's quite like using your application remote, just not with a remote desktop graphically synched to your local screen, but synched with a browsers DOM.
VFPX is just extending VFP tools, you are allowed and encouraged to do that, it was even sanctioned to include the core Sedna add on MS made free, though MS could have insisted on that being kept separate from VFPX they cannot allow extensions in general vio builder.dbf and other mechanisms and commands and then disallow them just because they abandoned the product. Extending the IDE menu is not done by recompiling a VFP9.exe, it takes the extension points made for it, eg see There is some big difference, if you take the IDE, decompile, patch and recompile it, thereby builing your work on top of other work, or building an extension you can offer to anyone having the product. That may be Yu Jia's argumentation, they just patch a vfp9.exe, but are they? Even if this is what's technically done and the process is rather like replacing the engine of a car, it's something I won't be comfortable with. You could also make frequency analysis of songs, see how to put these frequency spectrums together from music instrument samples and recompose a song, then only sell your samples and the 'instructions' to put them together, it would still be stealing songs, wouldn't it? RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 13:36.
Scott, I really don't want to labour this point. You're right that Mike Gagnon gave a good run-down of the legality issue - or at least one aspect of it. He might well be right.
But it's separate from the point that I have been trying to make. My point was that he is passing this product off as a new version of VFP.
Or, at least, that's what Microsoft can claim. He calls it VFP Advanced. He states 'Now there is a VFP Advanced 32-bit version and a VFP Advanced 64-bit Beta version.' This is nothing to do with decompilation. It makes no difference whether he reverse engineered the Microsoft product, re-wrote some of the header files or DLLs, or even if he completely re-wrote the whole thing from scratch. Passing off is passing off.
I realise I'm in a minority on this issue. I would love to be proved wrong. But until I am, I'll be staying away. Mike Mike Lewis (Edinburgh, Scotland) RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 17:23.
Funny, but I would agree more with your point if he called it 'Visual FoxPro Advanced' (x86 or x64, take your pick). The product name is Visual FoxPro, not VFP.
And as mentioned, apparently no one had issue with VFPX so VFP Advanced shouldn't be any more an issue. That's where the trademark is, if that is the big concern. No issue of VFP was ever called 'VFP'. Doesn't matter what the.EXE file name is either. I can think of lots of reasons not to use it, but the 'legal' argument is the thinnest. Best Regards, Scott ATS, CDCE, CTIA, CTDC 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler.' RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 9 Aug 15 18:09.
I can think of lots of reasons not to use it, but the 'legal' argument is the thinnest. If it was just a question of personal use, I would agree with that. But I use VFP to develop applications for clients. I can't put my clients in a position where there is a legal question mark over the work I do for them. And, if the worst happened and a court did find this product illegal, where does that leave the applications I develop with it?
Mike Mike Lewis (Edinburgh, Scotland) RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 10 Aug 15 08:06. I'm quite certain with Surface Pro 4, Win 10, and office 2016, Microsoft has much bigger fish to worry about.
No offence, but I don't think any of us here are going to create a VFP app that's going to get the attention of MS. They don't give a wet slab about applications developed for our clients that run small to medium enterprises. They spend more money writing the next version of Access, or Office 365, or Windows 11. When VFP was in its height, it was a rounding error for Microsoft. It's relevance to them has slipped so far below radar level that it now swims with the dolphin and whale. Worry all you like, avoid all you like, it's really not going to make a difference.
Bravo for the moral and ethical side, but the reality is MS doesn't care, and is never going to care. Best Regards, Scott ATS, CDCE, CTIA, CTDC 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler.' RE: 64-Bit VFP (Programmer) 10 Aug 15 08:43.
