How to Use

Convert xls to dbf

Import from XLS / XLSX (Excel) to DBF Base

This dialog window imports data from an Excel file. With "Import data into current (opened) database file" option, the DBFView will insert records from xls / xlsx file you selected into current dbf file. In this case the number of fields and field types should be the same as opened dbase file. If "Import data into another DBF file" is checked, the program will create a new dbf file based on selected Excel xls / xlsx file.

When you export .xls files you should take into consideration some limitations:

     1. Rules of the columns names.

- Columns names should be written down one after another (beginning with the cell A1).
- Empty names of the columns are not supported (columns laying to the left are only imported).
- Columns names longer than 8 symbols are truncated up to 8 symbols.

2. Rules of the columns type definition.

The columns type is defined according to the type of the data entered into the second row, i.e. if the integer value is written in the second row that column will be of the integer type.

I am looking at your site regarding your product DBF View. We currently use Excel 2007 on XP operating systems. We save excel files as DBF IV format so that we can import them into other software that we use. Will this program work with Excel 2007 (.xlsx)?

   Customer Support person
Yes, DBFView v3.2 supports import from Excel 2007 files (.XLSX files) to .dbf files.

I don't do a lot of work with 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. At first I tried copying the file to the hard drive and reading it with Quattro Pro. This was possible, but it was slow, and pushed the program to an intolerable number of illegal errors leading to shutdown. So I went on the net and searched for DBF readers, hit apycom.com pretty soon, read the home page and decided DBFView sounded useful and inexpensive, downloaded it, and have found it to be very serviceable. 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.

We develop application software using any kind of DBF format file. The DBF files generated (FoxPro DBFCDX in windows format) are different from the equivalent FoxPro generated in DOS format: as a result of that the utilities I use to maintain the DBF files (mainly DBU of Clipper) are enable to manage all formats. I should have at least 3 versions of the same utility. For this matter I started a research on the web to find a more rational tool. I've downloaded several DBF managers very good products but they don't solve the compatibility problem. Only DBFView has the main feature I'm searching for : it recognizes the DBF format! And then the graphical interface of DBFView is very user friendly, agreeable to see, and the exe is very small.
