Open DBF File

DBF is one of the oldest database formats. Being used since late 80s, it is still extremely common. However, not all DBF files are the same. In fact, the DBF format itself suffered a lot of changes since its first appear. And while DBF offers backward compatibility since dBase III+, you still need to make sure a database administration tool you use correctly opens each and every DBF file you may have.

DBF Viewer 2000 supports all versions of the DBF format and opens them for editing with minimum efforts. It automatically detects the version of the format, correctly deals with any number of fields and records, opens extremely large files (more than 4GB)

To open a DBF file, go to the File menu and click the Open command or use shortcut Ctrl-O, or click the corresponding icon on the toolbar. In the file opening dialog box select the file(s), use Ctrl and Shift keys for multiple selection.

To open with other extension (non .dbf), you need to enter file name with extension and click "OK"
