CDBF Shell

CDBF Shell is a useful application that is capable of reading the structure and contents of database files, saved in the *.dbf format. The application allows you to view the records list in the file without opening it, even if you do not have a specific database, management plugin/ application installed.

Quickly view the contents of database files

CDBF Shell is a suitable alternative to database managers since it allows you to view the contents of the *.dbf documents from their Properties window. Viewing the contents of the file is as easy as accessing the Properties dialog box from the context menu.
CDBF Shell integrates an additional tab in the Properties window, where you may view the list of records contained within the file. The tool can also determine the structure of the table, by listing the column headers and cell format. Thus, it can detect the type of characters supported by each column and the maximum width value.

Export records with one mouse click

While CDBF Shell does not allow you to modify any of the entries, you can easily export them to the clipboard and process them. Simply select the desired entries, then right-click on either of them to prompt the context menu.
You may export the selected entries to the clipboard or show/hide the recently deleted records. Moreover, you can enable the default order of records, as well as display the data as ANSI (Windows) or ASCII (DOS) characters.

View database contents without opening the files

CDBF Shell can read the information from *.dbf formats, created with programs such as dBase III, dBase IV, FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, or dBase Level 7. It is a reliable tool and a suitable solution for users who wish to view the records stored in a database and export them. Moreover, its small file size makes it easy to handle.
