Visual FoxPro supports OLE drag-and-drop, which makes it possible for you to move data between Visual FoxPro and other applications, as well as within Visual FoxPro applications.

Visual FoxPro also makes it easy to create applications for use with the Internet and other Microsoft Windows-based applications, such as Excel and Visual Basic.

In addition, Visual FoxPro makes it easy to create Automation servers that work better with the Internet, Microsoft Transaction Server, and the Active Desktop.
