MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft FoxPro KBKeyword Major and Minor Keywords

Each KB article in the FoxPro collection may contain a product-specific subcategory keyword (called a KBKeyword) that places the article in an appropriate FoxPro category. Each KBKeyword word is composed of the concatenation of a major topic keyword and a minor topic keyword.

For example, the keyword for the Interoperability major topic is Fxinterop. The keyword for the DDE minor topic is Dde. Therefore, to query for all articles about Interoperability using DDE, use the KBKeyword FxinteropDde.

NOTE: To retrieve all FoxPro articles on a major topic, place the asterisk (*) wildcard character at the end of the major topic keyword, For example, to query for all FoxPro Interoperability articles, use Fxinterop*.

Here are the topics and the corresponding KBKeyword keywords. The minor topics are in the indented list under each major topic.
