Introduction to Visual FoxPro

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to ways to apply FoxPro to your day to day microcomputer work. FoxPro is a database management program for the IBM and compatible computers. It is produced by Fox Software (a Microsoft Corporation company). FoxPro is compatible with most of the commands, programs and files.

This course is divided into six main sections: introduction to databases, general maintenance functions, database design, searching, indexing, and reporting. The terminology and concepts provide a base for FoxPro "literacy". The class exercises provide "hands-on" experience.

The course is designed for the first-time FoxPro user. More than 70% of the class time is hands-on use of FoxPro.
