Editor's review
DBFView - the most popular DBF editor and viewer in the world! DBFView supports dBase, Clipper, FoxPro, Visual FoxPro and other DBF formats. DBFView is a compact but powerful tool for viewing, editing, and printing DBF-format databases.
Features: DBFView is a DBF editor and viewer. The application works with Win9x/NT/2000/XP. It lets you do viewing, editing, and printing DBF-format databases. DBF files that are typically generated by the older data bases like dBase, Clipper, FoxPro, Visual FoxPro and others. The publishers claim that the most important parts of the DBFView code are written in Assembler. So that the crucial operations are expected to be quite fast. The .exe file generated also is small. The utility uses its own tools for connecting to the data bases. It does not require additional drivers such as ODBC and BDE or additional libraries like.OCX or .DLL etc.
You are able to add, delete, recall, sort, zap, pack records, view and edit files in DOS or Windows character sets, get detailed database information, export to txt/html/csv/xls/xlsx formats, and search in a file. You can import or export data from MS Excel also. There is detailed help files available to make you familiar with the application. There is a sample file too so that you can make out exactly what the utility can do.
Overall: A handy tool. Useful if you deal with these older databases often.
