How to Create a DBF File
- 1). Use DBF Explorer. Once you have the DBF Explorer software installed on your computer, open it and click the "New" button to create a new blank database. Use your computer's keyboard and mouse to enter any type of data you want into the database. Then, click on the "File" menu and then click "Save As." Give your database a name and click "Save" again to create a .DBF file on your computer.
- 2). Use DBF Manager. DBF Manager allows you to both view and create .DBF files installed on your computer. Open DBF manager and click "File" and then "New" to create a new blank database. Use your computer's keyboard and mouse to enter any type of data you want into the database. Then, click on the "File" menu and then click "Save As." Give your database a name and click "Save" again to create a .DBF file on your computer.
- 3). Use DBFView. As with DBF Manager, you can use DBFView to create a .DBF file and then view it once you're done. Once you create a new database file with DBFView, enter all of the data you need to track into the main program window. Then, click on the "File" menu and then click "Save As." Give your database a name and click "Save" again to create a .DBF file on your computer.
