   Ulrich Pfleghard - Software Manager
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 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.

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.
