Remarks

Visual FoxPro is an automation server, allowing other applications such as Microsoft Excel or Visual Basic to remotely start and manipulate Visual FoxPro through properties and methods. The Application object is also available from within an instance of Visual FoxPro.

The syntax used by an application to create an instance of an automation server such as Visual FoxPro is typically unique to the application. Consult the application's documentation for the proper syntax to create an instance of an automation server and then manipulate the instance through the properties and methods.

The Objects Collection can be accessed through the Application object.
