The single and most important challenge in FoxPro migration is to have the right team in place. Choose wisely. There are very few companies now that have the expertise, the experience and the hands-on available programmers skilled in FoxPro. Conversion costs and the way they are quoted can leave you with astronomical expenses. And downtime.
The larger and more complex your program, the sooner you should get started with your conversion. You will be allowed time to carefully add new functionality like important mobile apps. You can carefully plan the transition with more skilled programmers to choose from. This will keep the hourly rate down. We recommend that you convert to C#.NET with a SQL database, one of the most secure databases available…and is owned and supported by Microsoft.
ERW Custom Programming has been providing ongoing support for Visual FoxPro programs as well as FoxPro for DOS and FoxPro for Windows for over 40 years now. ​We convert Visual FoxPro to C#.NET.
