Parameters

  • cProgramName
    Specifies a converter application. If your converter application is in a directory other than the current Visual FoxPro default directory, include a path with the application name.

    You can also specify a converter application in your Visual FoxPro configuration file by including a line using the following syntax:

    _CONVERTER = cProgramName

Remarks

The _CONVERTER system memory variable contains the name of the application that Visual FoxPro uses when you attempt to open a screen, report, or project created in an earlier FoxPro version. By default, _CONVERTER contains Convert.app, installed in your Visual FoxPro directory. You can specify a different name for the converter application.
