Converting dBASE .CAT Files into Visual FoxPro Projects

See Also

If you have existing dBASE catalogs (.cat files), you can convert them into Visual FoxPro projects (.pjx files).

To convert a dBASE catalog

1. From the File menu, choose Open.
   
   
2. Select the name of the dBASE catalog file, and then choose OK.

When you open a dBASE catalog, Visual FoxPro does some or all of the following, depending on the catalog contents:

• Converts tables to Visual FoxPro format.
  
  
• Converts screens to forms so that you can modify them with the Form Designer.
  
  
• Converts reports and labels so that you can modify them with the Report Designer.
  
  
• Adds dBASE queries (.qbe files) to the Project Manager as programs under the Code tab so that you can run them.
