INTRODUCTION TO FP1023

The FoxPro wizards are specifically designed to guide new users through creating basic, flat-file (single table) application modules. These modules are tables, screens, queries, and reports. Flat files are nonrelational databases. The wizards do not support relational database features by default.

The modules generated by the wizards can be modified with FoxPro's power tools to support one-to-one and one-to-many relationships. Doing so, however, requires fairly extensive knowledge of Xbase programming, and will not be discussed in this document. Instead, this document presents a step-by-step process for creating a complete flat-file application.
