We cannot rewrite the app. It's either junk it and get a new system or get something that tricks it to think its fox but really is SQL.

It's an interesting idea, one that I've thought about in the past. &nbsp;The problem is that the app &lt;--&gt; FoxPro interface is fairly complex and doesn't beaking down cleanly (as I understand it) into SQL that could be passed off to a SQL Server back-end. &nbsp;So while I think it's possible to do this, in theory at least, the difficulty in doing so would make it a rather significant undertaking.

i guess we're going to need to dump the idea (and the program)<br />
thanks

BTW, if there was such a product available, would you be willing to pay for it? &nbsp;How much?

I could discuss this with my client, but I am not sure he wants it. This idea was a last ditch effort to save the program...it is a DOS based program after all

Hi,<br />
does anyone know of any way that we can set up a SQL database for a FoxPro App, without re-writing the whole code--rather using some type of emulator or low-level driver that the app will believe it is using FoxPro but really be using SQL?

foxpro emulator? / low-level SQL driver

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
