What is a DTE file?

DTE files mostly belong to dBase. Data Table Engine files (DTE) serve to store structured table data. They are mainly used by dBase systems and are also known as Data Transfer Exchange files.
When a DTE file follows the dBase format, it holds rows and columns optimized for rapid data queries and operations.
Some DTE files use a ZIP container. In that case, they store Legacy Family Tree data from DoroTree, which requires unzipping before use.

dBase Use: Opens in database tools designed for table data management.

Genealogy Use: Requires extraction from ZIP to view family tree details.

How to open a DTE file

You need a suitable software like dBase to open a DTE file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DTE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DTE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
