Creating Visual FoxPro Names

  • Article

Data containers and some parameters to commands and functions require a name. When you create a name in Visual FoxPro, apply the following rules:

  • Use only letters, underscores, and numbers.

  • Begin the name with a letter or underscore.

  • Use 1 to 128 characters, except for field names in free tables and index tags — those can be 10 characters at most.

  • Avoid words reserved by Visual FoxPro.

File names follow your operating system's conventions.
