What is a .FRX file?
The .FRX file extension is associated with FoxPro Report, but it is also used in Visual Basic projects. This type of file contains binary information specifically for forms that are created using Visual Basic. Binary information means it stores data in a format that computers can read but not humans, such as images, icons, and other graphics that you might add to your Visual Basic forms. This is different from a .FRM file, which is used for the text-based properties and code of the form. The .FRX file complements the .FRM file by holding the non-text data.
Sometimes, if your Visual Basic form doesn't include any binary data like images or icons, the .FRX file might not contain any information. In such cases, it's possible to delete the .FRX file without affecting your project, but this should be done with caution to avoid accidentally losing important form data.
To open and work with a .FRX file, you would typically use Microsoft Visual Basic 6, which is a development environment used for creating applications. Within Visual Basic 6, the .FRX file is automatically managed alongside its corresponding .FRM file, so when you open the .FRM file in Visual Basic, it knows to also work with the associated .FRX file to display all parts of your form correctly.
