Notes about the DBF file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The DBF file type is primarily associated with 'Database'. Started as dBASE II then proceeded through versions III, III+, and IV. Most of these files can usually be opened in Excel or Access. Often now called xBASE. The database index has the extension .NDX.

Cannot access DBF files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open DBF files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
