I would like to know if there's a substitute for Visual FoxPro. The last version is 9.0. With the language FoxPro 3.0 so, I was wondering of someone knows a language similar to FoxPro with a development environment similar to Visual FoxPro 9.0. I know there's dBase but I don't know if it's powerful enough like FoxPro and I also know xHarbour but I haven't tried it.

Answer 1

I hear Servoy is one of the platforms VFP developers are moving towards. And it's either free or inexpensive. Check out http://www.servoy.com/

Answer 2

Lianja App Builder has a high degree of compatibility with Visual FoxPro. www.lianja.com

Answer 3

Unfortunately there are is not a similar programing language to Visual FoxPro. FoxPro was one and still is one of the best programming languages out there. You can still use Version 9 with SP2 but there will be no 64 bit support in the last version. It will run on all windows platforms in 32 bit just fine. If you are looking to convert your current version of Visual FoxPro I found Servoy.

You can check these links about FoxPro conversion into Servoy. http://www.servoy.com/content.jsp?t=1283&pageid=dlfoxpro

Answer 4

First what do you mean by 'substitute for VFP'? Are you just looking for a rapid application development tool?

I don't know about everyone else in the VFP world, but I still develop using VFP 9 and my products run under all versions of Windows; however, I'm migrating most of my stuff to Visual Studio using C# and .NET.

You're not going to find anything that mimics VFP (at least not that I'm aware of)

Answer 5

Alpha5 V11 has some similarities to VFP. I am also looking for something like a VFP replacement and so far I only see lianja and maybe embarcadero as possibilities.

Answer 6

I do not think this is quite the equivalent to VFP but I did see a product called Suneido which appears to be a similar product to MS Access and or VFP. I have not tried to use this but if anyone has it might be good to hear about. http://www.suneido.com/
