Import from XLS / XLSX (Excel) to DBF Base This dialog window imports data from an Excel file. With 'Import data into current (opened) database file' option, the DBFView will insert records from xls / xlsx file you selected into current dbf file. In this case the number of fields and field types should be the same as opened dbase file. Export the Excel sheet(s) as comma delimited files (.CSV) and use the IMPORT command or the Import Wizard inside VFP to import the file(s). Write custom VFP OLE automation code to automate Excel and extract the data to VFP.

I am doing support work in the field on a software system written with Visual FoxPro. Only the runtime is delivered to the end user. I have both Microsoft Access and Microsoft FoxPro on my system but when I am trouble shooting a site, I connect into their Lan with my laptop. It is time consuming to use these other programs to look at or modify .DBF files on the users system. To do this, I have to set up linkages from the IDE's for each file I want to look at. When I am done, I need to tear these linkages back down because they will no longer exist once I unplug my laptop from their network. I wanted a program that would allow me to quickly scan through a number of .DBF files and if needed make changes with a minimum of overhead work. I searched download.com for programs that would serve this purpose. Your program seemed to be a good fit. I downloaded it and a couple of others, worked with each and when I decided I would continue using yours, registered it.

I am looking at your site regarding your product DBF View. We currently use Excel 2007 on XP operating systems. We save excel files as DBF IV format so that we can import them into other software that we use. Will this program work with Excel 2007 (.xlsx)?

We have installed Access 2000, and the export data from access to dBase destructs actually all file structures (thank you, guys from MS!) of the DBase files in a manner that dBase doesn't recognize them as dBase files.. I have to support an old Clipper/dBase based program. I was looking for a documentation tool for dBase because we still use a Clipper compiled programm that uses dBase files. Then I found Your program and thought i could see the structures of the files: I can! Hey fine! I also can see the contents of the files even if the Access derived files have a mistake in the second byte (at least) of the exported files. And I can modify the contents of the fields. Even better!

A while back, someone handed over some scheduling data in a somewhat clunky old application in desperate need of modernization. I looked under the hood and figured out that this thing uses a FoxPro database! Microsoft discontinued development of Visual FoxPro way back in 2007, and I hadn’t seen a working FoxPro database since the late 1990s…so I knew it might be tricky to get the data out.
TL;DR: I fired up Microsoft Access to see if I could link to the external data. This was harder than I expected because Windows 10 and Access 2016 no longer ship with a Visual FoxPro ODBC driver. Once I found one, I could easily link to all of the tables—except for the ones that included variable-width memo fields. I could use an OLE DB provider to get to tables with memo fields, but only via Excel or programmatically. Access apparently can’t create a linked table via OLE DB.
As I mentioned above, if you’re on Windows 10 and Microsoft Access 2016, chances are good that your machine doesn’t have an ODBC driver for Visual FoxPro installed like earlier versions. You can find a page on Microsoft’s website that used to have a link to download of the driver, but it’s been removed since they no longer support it. Thankfully, it seems you can reliably find a link to the old Microsoft VFPODBC.msi file at the Visual FoxPro Wiki.
I know Microsoft Access isn’t an ideal tool for creating applications, but I sure saw and wrote plenty of them back in the day. It’s still a great tool to quickly test stuff like this.
So I clicked over to the External Data ribbon, clicked New Data Source→From Other Sources→ODBC Database and configured a connection to the FoxPro data I wanted to get into. I easily pulled up a table listing and decided to select all the tables to start off. Several prompts came up to indicate a unique identifier. Being that my attention span for message and dialog boxes has shrunk to zero, I answered the first two or three, and then just clicked Cancel through the rest. Everything seemed all too easy!
Problems with Tables Having Memo Fields :-/
Now that I knew this was indeed a FoxPro database and that I could access its contents, I set my focus on analyzing the table structure to find the specific data I needed. At this point I hit a snag…
After much googling and digging, I concluded that the cause of these error messages was that the Microsoft Visual FoxPro ODBC driver was choking on the memo fields.
. Every other table I linked to via ODBC worked perfectly, but any table that included one or more memo fields bombed.
If you look at the file structure of a FoxPro database, you see that each data table has a corresponding .DBF and .CDX file. Using a text editor, I could infer that the .DBF file contains headings and data for the table’s fixed-width fields, and that the .CDX file contains indexes. Any table that included a variable-width memo field had a corresponding .FPT file containing that data.
Avatar clash of the benders. So if you want a shortcut to determine whether ODBC will get you into all of your FoxPro tables, look for .FPT files. If you see them, you will have problems. If you don’t have problems, I hope you’ll tell me about it! The best solution I’ve found is only a workaround. I’d love to know if you’ve found a method to link directly.
In my quest to crack this open, I found others recommend OLE DB as a way to overcome the memo field problem. While an OLE DB driver for Visual FoxPro no longer ships with Windows 10 or Access 2016 of course, I easily tracked one down on Microsoft’s website here.
After I installed it, my next problem was how to use it in Microsoft Access to create a linked table. After again scouring the Internet, I found no way to do this. Access apparently only allows you to create linked tables to Access, SQL Server, and ODBC databases. I could however import the data into Excel, but that too was tricky.
Importing Visual FoxPro Data Into Excel via OLE DB
How To Import A Dbf File Into Excel
Getting to external data via OLE DB is pretty intuitive in Excel…up until you go to create the connection string. (Click Data→Get Data→From Other Sources→From OLE DB.) After I clicked Build, selected the Visual FoxPro driver, and clicked Next, Excel crashed…every single time…
Thankfully there’s more than one way to build an OLE DB connection string. For the most part, it’s pretty straightforward (so long as you don’t need any special options):
How To Import Dbf File Into Excel
Once I had my connection string, I pasted it into Excel and it connected to every table in the FoxPro database. I could import all of the data I needed with no problems.
From here I could link to the data in Excel to use it in Access. I could also use some VBA code to directly import the data into Access. These are not simple ways to get to my data, but at least I know I can get it out when the time comes.
