You can tell Microsoft Visual FoxPro to use an external editor for editing project files.
To tell MS VFP to use Vim, use regedit to locate:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\5.0\Options]
and create a new item
TEDIT
with string content
"/N C:\Progra~1\vim\vim61\gvim.exe"
(or whatever your path to Vim happens to be).
This will not replace the internal VFP editor for such things as modifying the "click method" for a button (unfortunately), but when you modify a program, VFP will fire up gvim.
