We have installed 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 have to support an old Clipper/dBase based program. I was looking for a documentation tool for dBase because we still use a Clipper compiled programm that uses dBase files. Then I found Your program and thought i could see the structures of the files: I can! Hey fine! I also can see the contents of the files even if the Access derived files have a mistake in the second byte (at least) of the exported files. And I can modify the contents of the fields. Even better!

We were interested because our users needed something quick and easy to view dbf files and we did not want to use FoxPro. We had another utility that works on Windows 95 and NT but would not work on Windows 98. 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. I had looked at another dbfviewer but it did not have all the functionality that yours has.

I am doing support work in the field on a software system written with Visual FoxPro. Only the runtime is delivered to the end user. I have both Microsoft Access and Microsoft FoxPro on my system but when I am trouble shooting a site, I connect into their Lan with my laptop. It is time consuming to use these other programs to look at or modify .DBF files on the users system. To do this, I have to set up linkages from the IDE's for each file I want to look at. When I am done, I need to tear these linkages back down because they will no longer exist once I unplug my laptop from their network. I wanted a program that would allow me to quickly scan through a number of .DBF files and if needed make changes with a minimum of overhead work. I searched download.com for programs that would serve this purpose. Your program seemed to be a good fit. I downloaded it and a couple of others, worked with each and when I decided I would continue using yours, registered it.
