Is your FoxPro database showing it’s age? Can’t run FoxPro on Windows 7 or Windows 10? Having trouble finding someone to help you maintain the database? Consider moving your FoxPro database to Microsoft Access!

Why Access may be your best option

Access is uniquely poised to take your FoxPro system and turbo charge it for a much better user experience. Moving data from FoxPro to Access can be quite challenging since you will need to redo all the forms, queries, reports and code. It can be lots of work if you have a very complex FoxPro database.

Use these techniques to convert your FoxPro to Access

  • Once you have learned Access, start creating all of the tables, forms, queries, reports and code in Access.
  • Copy your existing data by exporting all of the records in FoxPro and importing them into Access. You may need to do this several times during the project.
