Active FoxPro Pages (AFP) is a system that lets you build dynamic Web pages with Microsoft Visual FoxPro, XML and HTML.

Target Group

This documentation provides a few basics and some background information that will help you familiarize yourself with the AFP technology so you can understand and utilize it for the creation of dynamic Web applications.

We assume that you are an experienced user of HTML or XML. If you have already created HTML documents, this will definitely give you an edge. While we will make occasional short references to HTML, XML or structural design you should not consider this manual as your sole source of information for HTML and XML. You will find numerous resources for these and many other aspects in the Internet

This manual will on occasion also refer to different tools and applications. These are applications for Microsoft Windows only, as the Active FoxPro Pages can only run under that operating system.
