RO SOFTWAR
RE. We have
e been in business since 1987, helping land
departments manage their lease record
ds and getting
g their work d
done. We con
nsider it our re
esponsibility tto listen
to companies
s like yours, and
a find new ways
w
to add value
v
to your operations.
Chances are we can help you! We pro
ovide tools forr the entire ar ray of land-re
elated personnel: from Field
Landmen to Lease
L
Analys
sts, Division Order
O
Analysts
s, and finally to Land Mana
agers.
1. FIELD LANDMEN
N start out usin
ng LANDPRO
O EXPRESS.. They enter name & addrress data, traccts and
mine
eral ownership
p data, leases
s. They gene
erate Mineral O
Reports, Lease
e Purchase R
Reports,
Ownership R
Leas
ses, Lease Ad
ddendums, Memorandum of
o Leases, Le
ease Data Sheets, Exhibit A’s, Lease Pa
ackets…
2. Yourr in-house LEA
ASE ANALY
YST can also review
r
leasess in LANDPRO
O EXPRESS, make chang
ges,
expo
ort data to Exc
cel, and then use the Land
dPro Broker Im
mport Module
e (optional mo
odule) to impo
ort the
Land
dPro Express records into Visual
V
Landpro 2000.
3. The LEASE ANALYST will also add any ad
dditional inform
mation that m
may be missing, for examplle
Work
king Interest decks,
d
ORRI burdens, Con
ntract cross-re
eferences, etcc. This data w
would be ente
ered into
Visua
al LandPro manually.
m
The
e lease analys
st would also run various re
eports, print rrental checks, etc.
4. Yourr DIVISION ORDERS ANA
ALYST can qu
uickly calculatte DOI’s on a per-well or p
per-unit basis. Visual
Land
dpro automatically knows which
w
tracts and leases are
e associated w
with your wells – and it willl show
you exactly
e
how itt is calculating
g the Division
n Order.
5. The LAND MANA
AGER would then
t
review one
o of the variious management style reports, such as our
ation
Acreage Summary Report by Prospect,
P
our Prospect NR
RI Summary R

Since LandPro data is stored in various

WELCOME TO VISUAL LANDPRO
Here at LandPro Corp we specialize in software development, specific to the land industry. We have
been providing solutions for land departments, field landmen, and land owners since 1987. In
addition to VISUAL LANDPRO 2000 (VLP), we also offer training, technical support, data conversion
services, and software customizations services. Other products that complement Visual LandPro
include LANDPRO EXPRESS (lease acquisition software), LANDPRO DOI MODULE (calculates
Division Order of Interest), the DOCUMENT IMAGING MODULE, DILMAD REPORT WRITER
(custom reports and Excel worksheet generator), GIS Auto-Linker Tool, (link .SHP files to VLP
Subtracts), MAPSUITE GIS EDITOR (LANDPRO Ed.) (full mapping capabilities, including Metes &
Bounds / Jeffersonian creation tools, legal description auto-converter, VLP Auto-Linker, VLP
SmartMaps, and much more), VLP PLUGIN FOR ARCGIS (access VLP map-related data in ArcGIS)
and our MINING REVENUE DISTRIBUTION MODULE (coal mining royalty distribution software).
VLP data is stored in popular Visual FoxPro 9.0 tables, so it is easily accessible by 3rd party systems
such as Excel, Arcview, Arcinfo, and other programs that can read .DBF files. VLP2000 SQL stores
its data in SQL2012 databases.
VLP is truly feature-filled and very powerful. It was modeled after MS-Office, in order to minimize your
learning curve. Our proven-useful reports are abundant, clearly laid-out, and extremely “flexible”
(most of them are even USER-MODIFIABLE): we offer numerous “management-style” summary
reports, as well as analyst-style, detail reports. VLP can also print leases to MS-Word.
VLP allows you to easily export your LandPro records to Excel thanks to our flexible “snapshot”
reports. This includes Name & Addresses, Division Order decks, Payment History, Payment
Obligations, and much more. This allows you to quickly and easily provide to your accounting
department all the necessary data out of LandPro that they may require – should “integration with
your accounting system” become an issue down the road.
If you need more flexibility in data exporting to Excel and custom reports, then check out the Dilmad
Report Writer for VLP, which gives you great power in specifying which tables and fields you wish to
extract data from.
VLP also allows you to quickly IMPORT BROKER DATA (lease / tract ownership data / and related)
thanks to its optional LANDPRO EXPRESS IMPORT” MODULE. This module allows you to import
data using a special multi-tab page Excel worksheet file.
VLP data is stored on YOUR SERVER or YOUR LOCAL COMPUTER’s hard drive. You can still
access VLP over the internet if that is a requirement, by simply using Windows XP’s “Remote
Desktop” services, or Microsoft Terminal Services. Call for more details if you wish to license VLP to
run on Citrix or Windows Server 2012.
Our software is powerful, yet intuitive. It generates over 100 reports, including various Exhibit A’s,
Acreage Inventories, Payment Obligation Reports, Rental Checks and Receipts, Expense
Summaries, Net Revenue Interest Reports, Division Orders, Mining Royalty Payments, and a lot
more! Plus, with the DilMad Report Writer you can create your own custom reports as well.
Smaller companies can start out using LandPro Express, then upgrade to Visual LandPro as their
needs increase.
We have over 100 companies using our products. These include mostly Oil & Gas companies, a few
Coal Mining companies, Land Owners, Field Landmen, and Land Service companies. We will be glad

View-Only Capabilities.
You can purchase additional view-only licenses. Here the end-user can
print any report they want. And they can lookup anything. But they cannot make any changes!
Larger Data Handling.
Visual LandPro 2000 Enterprise can handle more records than the older
Visual LandPro 98 / LANDPRO 6.0 system. Extensive usage of SQL commands combined with
FoxPro’s Rushmore technology is made in order to maximize speed. Depending on your network
configuration, tens of thousands of leases should be no problem with Visual LandPro 2000 Enterprise.
Unlimited Special Provisions.
You can setup an unlimited number of special provision per
lease. Actually, you can set these up in the Lease form, then Visual LandPro can automatically
“import” them for you into your new lease. You also have access to various “batch-add” wizards that
make data setup a breeze.
Excellent Filter Engine.
Easily specify what you want to see and/or work with. Our “regular” filter
engine allows you to fill-in-the-blank what you want to see. You can also “save to disk” your
“advanced filters” for later quick-retrieval.
Flexible Snapshot Reports. You can quickly run “snapshot” reports throughout Visual LandPro.
Move your grid fields whichever way you want, then select the Preview / Snapshot Reports feature.
Visual LandPro will then generate a report laid out the exact way you have your grid laid out. If you
“hid” a field, that field will NOT print on your report. Snapshot Reports can also be exported to
Microsoft Excel very easily.
“Smart” Lease Data Sheets and other Data Sheets.
We have the most comprehensive and
easy-to-read data sheets in the industry. Not only you can select the printing sequence of each “data
band”, but you can also hide/display them as you please, and do what we call “Data Sheet Status
Reports”, where you select only one or two bands, and multiple lease records per page!
Multiple Addresses per Owner.
Visual LandPro 2000 Enterprise allows you to setup an unlimited
number of addresses and phone numbers per owner. You can also specify which address is to be
used for General Correspondence, for Rental Checks, etc…
Optional Division Order Calculation Module. Don’t let the “optional” word turn you off… Visual
LandPro already comes with an excellent Division Order management system (like most of our
competitors). What we have that they do not is the ability to having the software automatically
generate the Division Order of Interest calculations for you without having to setup any additional
records! Check it out…
Ability to view lease lists using our innovative HTML (IE7) Rendering Engine. We also allow the
end-user the capability to modify the HTML page so that you can “customize” these forms as you
please. When in the Lease grid (or most other grids), click the IE5 icon and you’ll see the bottom half
of your grid become an active HTML page.
Audit Trail System. You can activate this feature to have Visual LandPro automatically record each
addition, deletion, and modification that anyone does in the system. It will keep track of who changed
what when and where… (big brother is watching!)
Ability to do mass export / imports from Excel. Give our Excel worksheets to your field brokers.
Have them populate these spreadsheets as they take leases or run title. Then 70% of your work will
already be done! All you’ll need to do is use the Excel Import feature and you can easily import these
worksheets right into Visual LandPro.

More Robust Database Management
VLP follows an Object-Oriented, 3-Tier Design, using the Bridge-Pattern Model. It uses Microsoft
Visual FoxPro 9.0 as its driving engine - clearly the best database system available.
You do not need to own Visual FoxPro in order to work with VLP.
Advanced Land Records Management
The VLP working environment is more flexible than ever, with editing features only a right-click away.
Properties such as Leases, Contracts, Wells, Units, Tracts, Fee Mineral Properties, and Prospects all
share the same state-of-the-art user-interface, resulting in a short learning curve.
Document-Based Template Approach.
VLP simplifies data entry and inquiry through the use of various standardized windows called by the
template manager window. This is very similar to the “File New” template window of most Microsoft
Office products. Each icon in the template manager provides access to a unique property, such as
leases, prospects, wells, tracts, etc…
Snapshot Reports
After defining the layout of your columns in most list windows, the end-user can generate "snapshot"
reports with as little as a couple of mouse-clicks. To run a snapshot report, right-click on the data list,
click on “preview” or “print”, then select Snapshot Report. VLP will generate a report that looks
exactly like you see your data on the screen. You may even move fields around, and the report will
be printed accordingly!
See a List of All Fields in a record. The “Show All” option of the entry windows displays a dialog box
listing in alphabetical order all the fields specific to the record you are editing.
Insert Image File Cross-References Easily.
Most files in VLP (leases, wells, tracts, contracts, names & addresses, etc…) can be quickly crossreferenced to an unlimited number of images, documents, and other objects. Images can be of a
wide variety of formats (jpg, bmp, gif, tif, etc…), and they can be stored in different platforms (hard
disks, cds, DVD, optical drives, web servers, floppy disks, etc…)
Create Filters Easily
The Filter Builder is accessible at all times from the list windows. Filters can be saved for later usage
by yourself or other users.
Find Records Fast
Searches are easily performed from our list windows. Simply click on the column of interest, then
type the first few letters of what you’re looking for. VLP will automatically move the record pointer to
the appropriate record. Also, you may use the Filter Window to quickly narrow down the records to be
displayed.

Descrip
ption of
o the so
olution.
We develop
ped Visual La
andPro 98, a Visual Fox
xPro 9.0 app
plication. It p
provides flexxible access to land
information, maps, and document im
mages. It is a multi-userr, multi-company applica
ation, following a
as a
document-o
oriented apprroach: every
y entity (such
h as leases, contracts, a
and addressses) is seen a
document.
Visual LandPro uses a three-tiered
t
architecture
e to guarante
ee flexibility and maintainability. It bo
orrows
ideas from the
t Smalltalk
k community
y and makes
s use of a Mo
odel-View-C
Controller-like
e architecturre. It
uses data objects rather than acces
ssing views or
o tables dire
ectly, thus a
allowing us to
o easily swittch data
sources sinc
ce only one set of objects is the med
diator betwe
een the data behavior an
nd interface objects.
These data objects can be sent acrross OLE connections.
The three-tie
ered approa
ach is importtant in order to migrate V
Visual LandP
Pro to the we
eb and to su
upport
various data
a sources lik
ke FoxPro DBFs, SQL Server, and m
more. Using data objectss, we are alsso able
to support in
ncompatible data source
es (i.e. an ad
ddress table from anothe
er applicatio
on).
The Internett is very imp
portant to Vis
sual LandPro
o, therefore we make exxtensive use
e of the Internet
Explorer ActiveX contro
ol. We use th
his control an
nd the Dyna mic HTML fe
eatures to p
provide and a
add
dynamic con
ntent to our “Interactive”” Desktop, which,
w
in turn
n, can be cusstomized by the user. Ussing the
Interactive Desktop,
D
we got rid of a huge amoun

ed it into a hig
ghly
effective and customiza
able desktop. We also use
u the IE4/I E5 ActiveX ccontrol to dissplay data in
n a nice
way, to prov
vide online support
s
and more.
Visual LandPro also inc

LandPro will display onlly the reque

This filtering

Filter “EXCL

Why Visual FoxPro was chosen.
Reliability and performance were two of the main reasons to choose Visual FoxPro over other
development environments. Visual FoxPro has a very powerful internal database engine allowing us
to create a relatively cheap product version for small to mid-size customers. At the same time, we are
able to create a client/server solution for our large customers, without changing the rest of the code.
Visual FoxPro’s powerful object model gives us the ability to create a robust solution relatively quickly
without loosing the advantage of having good maintainability. The result is a low TCO (total-cost-ofownership), one of the main goals in today’s world of software development.
Also, Visual FoxPro is a great tool to create middle-tier components. Together with Microsoft
Transaction Server, this allows us to create scalable components without changing the existing code,
breaking the old myth of “starting over from scratch with every new product version”.
Development challenges and how they were overcome.
Incorporate different business aspects of land documents, including maps, technical data, owner data,
lease descriptions, ownership issues, acreage issues, mineral rights by depth, and ownership
conveyance issues. VFP allowed us to integrate all the different business aspects (applications)
required to have a complete understanding of these land management issues through ActiveX
controls, browser interface, and three-tiered design.
Flexibility on the back end (data-tier). In order to access different databases (including VFP Data,
SQL Server and Oracle), we use controller objects that talk to data. We designed this similar to the
modern ADO technology, using data objects. Controller objects talk to data and hand it over to the
middle tier. Since all the modified data is present in the form of objects, it can be handed over to all
kinds of interfaces, thus meeting changing customer requirements.
Allow end-users to create reports. We created an OO FRX-creation engine we use in all report
wizards and snapshots.
4
We needed a way to quickly receive error messages from our users. The Visual LandPro
error-handler uses FoxPro Foundation Classes. It stores comprehensive information about the bug
and the environment at the time of the error, then it allows the user to email it to our email address for
technical support.
Handling Binary documents. These are usually scanned graphic images. They may be anywhere on
the network, or on CD-Roms. The major problem was different workstation drive mappings.
Handling complex grids and filters in a generic fashion. List views are built on the fly. All the columns
in grids are subclasses of regular column classes which was a rather large challenge since VFP
doesn’t support using different column classes in the Visual Class Designer. Our grids handle
standard tasks such as resorting, filtering and alike automatically. Grids (and the attached fill-in-theblank filters) are configured using our special grid-builder.
We needed to provide an easy way for “filters” to be created and accessed at different times. We
created a powerful filter wizard system, which automatically gathers information from the database,
and grants access to almost all filter options supported by Visual FoxPro.
