If your company uses a database application based on any of such popular systems
as Clipper, dBase, FoxPro and their "Visual" clones, you have a lot of files in the
DBF format. Your everyday administration tasks probably include backing up your DBF
files, synchronizing them between computers or offices, converting them to other
formats, publishing on the web and more...
When managing DBF files, you often need to take a quick look at their contents. Starting
your database application, and finding the necessary data is not the easiest way
to do this. Moreover, from a database application GUI, it is normally not clear what
data is contained in each particular DBF file. Administrators usually prefer to use
a simple DBF viewer for this purpose.
Before you buy a DBF viewer with only very basic features, you may want to consider
a product from HiBase called DBF Viewer 2000. For the very same price, you'll receive
an all-purpose Swiss Army Knife for your DBF files.
First of all, it's a quick and handy DBF viewer that features a modern multi-document
tabbed interface. It includes all you'll need for comfortable DBF browsing. In addition,
the program provides full editing capabilities. You can edit or manage records as
well as the table structure. DBF Viewer 2000 dynamically builds visual dialogs according
to the DBF file structure. These dialogs allow you to edit records naturally as if
you were using your database application. There are many advanced editing features
including textual fields formatting and automated removal of duplicate records.
Advanced filtering and searching. Printing. Converting data to a range of popular
formats (Excel, XML, SQL, TXT, CSV, RTF). Generating web-ready HTML output. Data preview in the Open File dialog.
Command line interface for use in batch operations. All these features and more make
DBF Viewer 2000 an unparalleled DBF managing tool.
