Any Mac software for opening DBF files?

I have a mac that is not running Windows.
I would like to at least view the contents of a dbf file. I have tried without success to find (google) such a program.
Is there anything out there that will help me?
Thanks.

Try V.K.'s suggestion first - NeoOffice is free and though its database section is extremely clunky you might be able to get it to work with your file.
Apple's now unsupported office program AppleWorks can import DBF files: Apple no longer sell it but you might be able to find a copy; ask for advice in the AppleWorks Forum - you might even be able to find someone who will convert it for you if you ask nicely. (You would still have to open it yourself, so you would need to ask them to export it as text).
FileMaker Pro can import XML and ODBC files but I can't see any evidence that it will import DBF files - you would need to contact their Support on this.
You only other option would be to try to find someone with Windows and a suitable program who can open the file and convert it to text, either tab or comma delimited, and then open that in (for example) Bento which is art least cheap, or NeoOffice.

  • Any Mac software for making wills, living trusts, etc.?

    I believe Nolo used to make WillMaker for Mac, but it's now known as Quicken WillMaker and their website only shows a Windows version. Anyone know of any other similar software for the Mac?

    Hello! I've never found any software that I would trust in regards to the matter. They are generally a one size fits all type program. If you are concerned enough to be looking for software then do the right thing and see a lawyer in YOUR state. The last thing you would want to do is leave a will/trust that turned out to be invalid in your state because of a technical error. This is one area where adequate counsel is a must. Tom

  • Iwork cannot open excel files,what mac software can open Microsoft excel fi

    slow.why iwork cannot do this?
    NeoOffice is slow compared to some programs, but it is the most accurate at opening Excel spreadsheets.
    iWork does not open spreadsheets because it does not have a spreadsheet program. Check back in January to see if Apple add a spreadsheet to iWork '07, and in the meantime let Apple know that you want one.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.

  • Choosing Default Program for Opening .doc files

    Hi all,
    A couple of days ago I somehow managed to change my default program for opening .doc files to Pages and I would rather use Microsoft Word as the default. I dont know how I ended up changing this default, but I would like to know how to put the default back to MS Word.
    Thanks for any help!

    Choose any one of the files you want to change. Then, command-i to "Get Info". Open the disclosure triangle under "Open With" choose "Microsoft Word" then click on "Change All".

    I can't find it either. Pratgeek, what was the name of the application you used in Ubuntu? Is there a website for it?
    probably a kind of necrobump, but i've been searching for flowchart drawing software, and found this topic.
    well, mentioned tdfd is the part of software suite called TCM available at least in debian/ubuntu.
    it appears to be really old, i could found only user guide and ubuntu/debian package pages on the web, but it appears to be working quite well.
    i've installed it on my ubuntu machine just half an hour ago, but it seems to be at least worth to play with, and i'd even make a PKGBUILD if i like it.

  • Mac software for Cisco Aironet 340

    I have a Cisco Aironet 340 PCMCIA card that I want to use with an old PowerBook. But I can't find the download for the Mac software for this card. This page tells me to go to "http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/aironet-utils-mac." but it just redirects me to the normal software download page. Where can I download the Mac sofrware for this card?

    It was never supported on a mac and this is end of life and end of support... your not going to find one especially on Cisco's site.  Maybe search online and someone might have it on a file share.
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Is there any database software for Snow Leopard?

    Hello, I am trying to set up a database for work but I use macbook pro at home. I know Access is a good database software and I once used it before but now I migrate to mac and I found Access doesn't support mac. Can you recommend any database software for mac? I know Bento is one but it seems work for personal. I want some soft like Access can be used for commercial, for office. And I prefer the soft can generate documents used for Windows too because in office I use Win. Thanks in advance. I know this question may not be posted here, but I can't find a more suitable place to write. Sorry for that.

  • Parameters for opening PDF files in a browser

    I read some of the posts about making a text link from an html page to a specific location in a pdf document in the browser.  I set up the parameters, as I understand it, according to the document "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The result from my test took me to the top of page 1, not to the bookmark on page 3 that I specified. See the link below. What is wrong with the parameters?

    You can also go to the website: http://www.tabardtheatre.org/audition.html and click on the text link (in blue).

    The PDF Open Parameters do not contain the option to link directly to a bookmark, as was mentioned, but I've developed a script that can add this functionality to your files. Have a look here, if you're interested: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/acrobat-link-to-specific-bookmark-in.html

  • How do I change the default app for opening a file;

    If I right click on a file in finder, it tells me what the default app for opening the file is.  it also gives me a short list of other apps.
    I would like to change the defaults for several file types, and also delete one app from the short list and add a different one.
    How do I do this?
    thanks

    You could try this:
    - right-click (tap with 2 fingers on the apple trackpad) on a file you want to open in openoffice
    - move the cursor over "open with". You should see the default app, then some suggestions, then app store, then at the end, "other...".  Select "other..."
    - find openoffice in your applications folder and select it  (if it is dimmed, change "enable: " from "recommended applications" to "all applications", then you can select "openoffice")
    - check "always open with"
    - then, click "open".  The file will open in openoffice and from now on, openoffice will be the default application to open the type of file you just opened.  You should also see the icon of all files of the same type change to the openoffice file icon.
    This is supposed to work, but that's not always the case, especially when the default app happens to be an Apple app.  If you don't want to use that Apple app, delete it (or move it elsewhere if you want a backup). That can help.
    Good luck!

  • How do i change default program for opening mp3 files

    Right click on one of your MP3 files and select "get info".  In the get info screen you can select the default program to open the file.  Then select Change All..  to make it the default for all MP3s.
