What is a .MPX file?

An MPX file is a type of file used by Microsoft Visual FoxPro, which is a program designed to help users create and manage databases on Windows computers. Specifically, the .MPX file contains a compiled menu that is part of the user interface (UI) of a FoxPro application. This means it includes details about how the menu looks and works within the program.

The information in an MPX file is compiled from an .MPR file. An .MPR file is essentially the original source code file where the menu's properties and behaviors are defined. Once the .MPR file is compiled, it becomes an .MPX file, which can then be used by the FoxPro application.

To open an MPX file, you would typically use Microsoft Visual FoxPro, as this is the program that directly supports and utilizes this file type.

It's important to note that there seems to be some confusion in the initial description regarding Microsoft Project and its file formats, MPP and MPX. Microsoft Project is a different program from Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Microsoft Project is used for project management and uses MPP as its default file format. It also supports the MPX file format, which is used to facilitate the exchange of project data with other applications. This is different from the MPX file format used in Visual FoxPro. Programs that can export to the MPX format for Microsoft Project include Microsoft Project itself and other third-party applications that might use the MPXJ Java library to handle MPX files.
