Decompiling a DLL is a bit like making eggs out of an omelette. Basically, it can't be done. Or, rather, there is no reliable automatic way of doing it. There are tools available that might extract some aspects of the source code from a DLL written in a specific language, but they rely on a lot of manual intervention and no small amount of guesswork.
The fact that your DLL is in a Visual Foxpro project makes not a scrap of difference.
You might like to look at this site: But don't be too hopeful of success.

You can only legally decompile a DLL or EXE or SYS or other binary executable, if you're the vendor of it.
If you're the vendor of some executable, you hopefully have source code. If you lost sources you should know the original programming language at least.
There are different types of DLLs, too. Function libraries, OLE class libraries, and assemblies.
We're not hackers here, we're developers. While Mike is assuming the best and only telling you, what you could find out yourself with google, this is not something to address here, if you're not talking of a VFP DLL.
Bye, Olaf.
