I want to view the contents of a dbf file but one column appears with
"strange characters". It seems to be locked or encoded or encrypted. I
can see the other columns with no problem. The problem exists only in
one column. Is it possible to "unlock or decode or..." and view the
contents of that column?
For viewing the contents of the dbf file, I use the programs:
- DBF Viewer 2000 v1.35
- DBF Viewer Pro

Hi.I'm not completely certain but I think you have a dbase file that is corrupted. I believe that if it was encrypted, you wouldn't be able to read any of the fields. But you can try view file with help DBF Viewer Tool. http://www.dbf.viewertool.com/[/url]
- Advanced file analysis engine allowing users to view FoxPro files that were seriously damaged in all sorts of data corruption incidents
