I still use the DBU 1986-1990 to create datbases but changing the
fields names cause the memo fields to be lost and all windows DBF
viewers are trial version and not freeware. Even the free when I open
it popup the error : wrong memo format .
I printed the structure of a DBF found version : dBASEIII+with memo
Please help me to get a freeware complete source of good windows DBF
viewer to update the fields without losing or recreate the dbf created
already from DBU.EXE.
Thanks |

If you did not need memo fields, and had less than 64000 records,
Excel could serve.
Did you try Open Office? Seems to me it has database utilities.
xHarbour.org will compile DBU. There are even one or two DBU-like
replacements at the xHarbour.com community.

I have never used it, but someone posts from time to time on the
xharbour newsgroup on this topic. (comp.lang.xharbour)
This site:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ourxdbu/
... looks active.

Have you considered downloading one of the free Borland (or CodeGen or
whatever they call them) Turbo packages (Delphi or C++)? They probably
contain the tools to build a quick DBF viewer which will be compatible
with DBU files. >> Stay informed about: DBU used and windows DBF needed |

The tool I still use for modifying DBF files is DBMax, available at
http://www.the-oasis.net/files/utils/dbx130.zip. It's free, and
handles DBFs with memo fields, Advantage DBFs, and all kinds of
indexes. >> Stay informed about: DBU used and windows DBF needed |

Have a look for dClip - http://www.donnay-software.com/ I use it a
little bit, it's free but you will need to test if it does what you
want. It has the familiar dBaseIII . prompt.
