Visual FoxPro (VFP) Migration & Modernization Services
Still running on Visual FoxPro (VFP)? Ticomix makes VFP conversion and modernization easy—helping businesses migrate legacy applications to secure, scalable platforms like .NET and SQL Server.
Our AI-accelerated approach has helped reduce development time by ~66%, making FoxPro modernization faster and more cost-effective.
Decades of Visual FoxPro Experience
Our team has been working with FoxPro since the early days—starting with FoxBase for DOS all the way through Visual FoxPro (VFP) 9.0. Whether your application runs on 16-bit FoxPro for Windows or the later 32-bit versions, we know how to translate your business logic into a modern framework that’s reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain — using AI-accelerated development tools to support more efficient modernization.
We don’t just understand the technology—we understand the business processes behind it. That’s why Ticomix is the leader in Visual FoxPro (VFP) replacement and legacy software modernization services.

Our Proven FoxPro Modernization Process
We’ve refined our approach to make every FoxPro migration project smooth, collaborative, and transparent. You stay informed and in control from start to finish. Watch the short video below for a quick overview.
Step 1
Initial Consultation
We start by listening. During a short discovery session, we learn about your existing FoxPro environment, workflows, and goals. Then we share the right migration or replacement strategy to meet your business needs. If it sounds like the right fit, we move forward.
Step 2
Cost Estimation
We request your FoxPro source code (or a guided walkthrough if needed) to analyze scope and complexity. Within 7 days, you’ll receive a free fixed-fee estimate and a high-level modernization plan.
Step 3
Design & Strategy Workshop
This collaborative workshop defines your Visual FoxPro migration strategy. Together, we map your current processes, identify modernization goals, and outline how integration of AI features can add value to your modernized application. You’ll get prototypes, database structures, and a clear development plan.

Step 4
Iterative Development & Deployment
You’re part of the process from start to finish—refining scope, reviewing stage releases, and ensuring the final solution meets your expectations. We build in iterations so you get full visibility and control along the way.

What Affects FoxPro Migration Cost?
The cost of a FoxPro migration depends on a few key variables, and no two projects look exactly alike.
Application Size & Complexity
The number of forms, reports, workflows, and years of accumulated business logic directly impacts effort. A small internal tool is very different from a 20-year operational backbone system.
Code Quality & Structure
Well-organized applications are faster to analyze and convert. Systems that evolved without documentation or rely on tightly coupled logic require more discovery and testing.
Platform & Integrations
Web vs. desktop architecture, SQL Server migration from .DBF tables, ERP/CRM integrations, and legacy DLL replacement all influence scope.
We typically provide free fixed-fee estimate within about a week of reviewing your source code so you can plan with real numbers.
How Long Does a FoxPro Migration Take?
The VFP migration timeline is also driven by factors such as application size, complexity, and code structure.
Smaller, well-organized VFP applications may take approximately 8–16 weeks
Larger, heavily customized systems can take 6–12 months or longer
Beyond development, planning, data testing, training, and cutover must also be factored in. Our iterative approach keeps you reviewing working functionality throughout the project, helping reduce surprises and maintain predictable progress.
Ready to Explore Your Scope?
We’ll review your application and provide a realistic estimate for cost and timeline so you can make an informed decision.
FoxPro to .NET Conversion
FoxPro to .NET conversion is a common next step for teams ready to move Visual FoxPro applications onto a modern, supported platform. For organizations that want to stay within the Microsoft ecosystem, migrating to .NET and SQL Server provides a stable, future-ready foundation.
At Ticomix, FoxPro to .NET conversion goes beyond translating code. We take time to understand your existing VFP application, modernize the user experience, and ensure your data and business logic continue to work the way your team expects, without the risks and limitations of legacy Visual FoxPro.
Ticomix FoxPro Migration Success Stories
Why Should You Upgrade from Visual FoxPro?
Microsoft officially ended support for Visual FoxPro on January 12, 2010.
While still a stable development tool, FoxPro is no longer supported by Microsoft. No future patches or updates will be released to maintain compatibility with new operating systems or hardware. Visual FoxPro 9.0 is the final version of Microsoft’s flagship database platform.
Why You Should Upgrade from Visual FoxPro
Seamless integration with cloud and enterprise systems
Improved performance, user experience, and data security
Remove the “kinks in the chain” of your business when it comes to software
Frequently Asked Questions
Many teams ask detailed questions about how FoxPro modernization works in practice. For a closer look at how we modernize Visual FoxPro systems faster and with greater predictability, see our AI-assisted FoxPro conversion approach.
What is VFP conversion?
VFP conversion refers to translating existing Visual FoxPro application code into a modern language and framework, typically .NET and SQL Server. The goal is to preserve business logic while moving to a supported, scalable platform.
Conversion focuses primarily on the technical transition of code and data structures.
What does FoxPro to .NET conversion involve?
FoxPro to .NET conversion typically includes:
Reviewing and analyzing the existing codebase
Migrating .DBF data to SQL Server
Translating business logic into modern .NET architecture
Rebuilding user interfaces
Testing and validating functionality
In some cases, legacy components such as DLLs or third-party libraries must be replaced or redesigned.
What is Visual FoxPro migration?
Visual FoxPro migration is the broader process of moving away from Visual FoxPro to a supported modern platform. This may include VFP conversion, FoxPro to .NET conversion, or a phased modernization approach based on business and technical requirements.
Why should I migrate away from Visual FoxPro?
Microsoft ended mainstream support for Visual FoxPro in 2007 and extended support in 2015. While applications may continue to run, the platform is no longer maintained or updated.
This increases long-term risks related to security, compatibility, and developer availability. Migrating ensures your system remains stable, supported, and scalable.
How long does a FoxPro migration project take?
Smaller, well-structured applications typically take 8–16 weeks. Larger systems with deep customization often take 6–12 months or longer.
Timeline depends on application size, complexity, integrations, and code clarity. Planning, testing, training, and cutover are included in the full schedule.
What are my options for replacing Visual FoxPro?
Common modernization paths include:
Migrating to .NET with SQL Server
Re-architecting as a web-based application
Rebuilding specific modules while retaining core logic
The right approach depends on your application’s complexity, integrations, and long-term business goals.
Do you modernize other legacy systems besides FoxPro?
Yes. Along with Visual FoxPro migration services, Ticomix provides Visual Basic 6 migration and Delphi modernization services, helping clients transition from legacy technologies to modern, future-ready platforms.
Is Visual FoxPro still supported?
No. Microsoft ended support for Visual FoxPro in 2015. While existing applications may continue running, the platform no longer receives updates or security patches.
This makes long-term maintenance increasingly difficult and risky.
