To extend a basic Visual FoxPro application, you can enable it to work for multiple users, take advantage of ActiveX controls and automation-enabled applications, and add international capabilities. - Interoperability and the Internet
Use OLE drag-and-drop to develop applications that make it possible for you to move data between Windows-based applications and within a Visual FoxPro application. Create documents for use on the Internet, or use one of two different Visual FoxPro run times to create COM components (Automation servers) as normal or multithreaded applications. - Programming in Visual FoxPro
Visual FoxPro is a powerful interactive data management tool, but you also can access the full power of Visual FoxPro by creating applications. Understanding object-oriented programming techniques and the event-driven model can maximize your programming productivity.
