title: Replacements for FoxPro
body: <p>I am looking for a replacement our Foxpro application. Microsoft Visual FoxPro is a Boeing non standard software application.  Microsoft has not released a new version since 2007 and has announced it will no longer be supporting the software.  The department started using FoxPro software in the early 1990's and has built several tools used to perform our contractual SOW activities.  FoxPro software is unique and no one tool exists that has the same capabilities.  With the rollout of WIN7, we were required to purchase licenses last year to update the software to the 2007 version of Visual FoxPro.  The previous 2003 version of Visual FoxPro is incompatible with WIN7.  Since Microsoft is longer supporting the software it is only a matter of time before Visual FoxPro will be incompatible with a later operating system update.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on of an application or a group of applications that can handle the capabilities listed below?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Open and alter numerous data tables at once</li>
  <li>Process Word Documents to determine alteration made from master
  copies</li>
  <li>Allow coding for flexible data manipulation</li>
  <li>Process and manipulate flat and excel files</li>
  <li>Import Word Documents, excel spreadsheets, and flat files into tables</li>
  <li>Hard code relationships between tables</li>
  <li>Allow user and administrative privileges</li>
  <li>Flexible data integration with other systems</li>
  </ul>
