What is an FDE file?

FDE files mostly belong to FormDocs. The FDE files are used in different software environments. Some files are FormFast documents meant for structured form data, while others are XML files used in Microsoft Visual FoxPro environments. A number also store CAD drawing data via the Fujitsu Drawing Editor or Festo Design Tool, and a few serve as ODBO-link databases for connecting data.
Details:

FormFast Document: These files, sometimes called FormDocs document files, are used to capture and store form data. More details can be found on the Interlace Health site.

XML Data File: A number of FDE files use XML formatting to hold database information related to Visual FoxPro. They can be viewed with a text editor or within the Visual FoxPro environment.

CAD Drawing File: Some files store drawing information from the Fujitsu Drawing Editor. They are a CAD drawing file format and may be opened with compatible CAD software such as the Festo Design Tool.

ODBO-Link Database File: A smaller group uses the ODBO-link method to manage database connections. Appropriate database connectivity tools are needed to open these.
