How to open DBF file

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

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).
