Xfrx Documentation __hot__
is a high-performance tool designed for Visual FoxPro (VFP) developers to transform standard VFP reports (FRX files) into various electronic formats. Developed by Eqeus , it is a royalty-free library that can be integrated into VFP applications to provide advanced previewing, printing, and exporting capabilities. Core Functionality
To protect sensitive financial or medical reports, you can apply user permissions and passwords directly through the XFRX session object.
XFRX is a product. Once purchased, it can be distributed with your VFP applications at no additional cost to end-users.

Used specifically to initialize the built-in XFRX enhancement viewer, which provides an alternative to the native VFP print preview window with built-in search and export buttons. 3. Supported Output Formats (Target Types)
You can define how numbers appear (e.g., currency, general) by adding specific code to the field's comment. is a high-performance tool designed for Visual FoxPro
Here are some of the most common and powerful ones:

The tool operates via two primary modalities:
