FoxPro Compiled Program

An FXP file may also be a compiled program created by Microsoft Visual FoxPro, a database management system that evolved from FoxPro. It contains machine code compiled from source code in a .PRG file by a developer, which they can execute within the Visual FoxPro environment. FXP programs speed up the execution of database operations within Visual FoxPro and ensure the code is ready to run without recompiling it each time.

FXP programs are an essential component of Visual FoxPro. Developers commonly use them to manage databases, build tables, and execute complex queries. For example, developers can use the programs to process data, generate reports, and export results to different formats. This functionality is especially helpful in business environments in assisting data handling and reporting.

NOTE: The last version of Visual FoxPro was 9.0, which Microsoft published in 2007.

You can open and run FXP files with Microsoft Visual FoxPro in Windows. However, the software is no longer developed.
