I was looking for a documentation product for dBase because we still use a Clipper compiled aplication that uses dBase files. I have to support an old Clipper/dBase based program. We use Access 2000, and the export data from access to dBase destructs actually all file structures (thank you, guys from MS! ) of the DBase files in a manner that dBase doesn't recognize them as dBase files. I had looked at another dbfviewer but it did not have all the functionality that yours has. We tried using Excel but it would only read up to 65, 536 records and some of the files they look at are larger than that. We had another product that works on Windows 95 and NT but would not work on Windows 98. We were interested because our users needed something quick to view dbf files and we did not want to use FoxPro. The program was easy to install, reads quickly from the CD-ROM drive, finds individual records reliably and quickly enough for my purposes, and in general seems like a tremendous bargain. Com pretty soon, read the home page and decided DBFView sounded useful and inexpensive, downloaded it, and have found it to be very serviceable. So I went on the net and searched for DBF view programms, hit apycom. This was possible, but it was slow, and pushed the product to an intolerable number of illegal errors leading to shutdown. At first I tried copying the file to the hard drive and reading it with Quattro Pro. I do not use frequently databases, but in connection with a research project I got hold of a CD with a 30-meg DBF file on it - 74, 624 records, 23 fields, total of field widths 414 characters. DBFView comes with Installer/Uninstaller, documentation in HTML format, and sample files. The application allows you to import/export from MS Excel (including MS Excel 2007! ), pack records, add, delete, export dbf to txt/html format, view and edit files in DOS or Windows character sets, convert csv and xls / xlsx to dbf format, recall, zap, search in a file, sort, get detailed database information. exe file is very small (only 410Kb! ).ĭBFView uses its own database access programs and does not require external drivers for connection to databases (such as ODBC or BDE) or additional libraries (.OCX.DLL). Most important parts of DBFView code are written in Assembler, therefore the basic operations performs prompt and the. The user friendly graphic makes using databases facile and hassle free. In contrast to many variants, DBFView is completely a Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista application. It supports dBase, FoxPro, Clipper, Visual FoxPro and other DBF formats. DESCRIPTION How To Edit Dbc FilesDBFView is a constricted but effective tool for printing, viewing, editing DBF-format databases - screen shot.
