Re: Foxpro 2

Fox 2.x tables were standard DBF files.
Code was stored in ASCII files, *.PRG mostly.
So, as long as you have the code itself, versus only having the
compiled binaries, you can read it by using any editor.
If you don't have it, a Fox 2.x dev environment would not help
much, you'd need something like Refox then http://www.hallogram.com/

I am looking at a FoxPro 2 application with a foxpro database that when built
many years ago was never what the end user really wanted but it worked and they
left it alone. Now we are rebuilding all of our databases into one single
database to reduce the complexity and redundancy. We no longer have the foxpro
software in house. Do we need it? Is there some other way to view the code and
the database tables without the software? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Also, is there someone who might have foxpro 2 software that might want to sell
it cheap. Let me know how much, I'll take it to my boss

Charlie,
In addition to Stefan's information, you could use any application that handles standard .DBF files to view the data - Access can and Excel can as long as there aren't more than 65K records in the table. There are also a number of .DBF viewers around - some freeware and some shareware. http://www.dbf-viewer.com, http://www.legendsoft.com/products/dbfviewer/, http://www.brothersoft.com/Informati...dows_9213.html, http://products.datamation.com/dms/r...078679747.html, etc.
