<strong>DBF</strong> or DataBase Files are the most commonly used files for<br />
multiple applications. <strong>DBF</strong> is a standard file format for most of<br />
the programs that compiles structural data in<strong>to</strong> specific<br />
quantas. Some of the files <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>re files in dbf file formats are<br />
Visual FoxPro, FoxPro, dBase (and it's various versions), many<br />
popular games, and interactive programs such as Dragon<br />

not allow the users <strong>to</strong> directly interact with the file itself some<br />
of them that are targeted at the developer’s interactions with<br />
the database file. In such cases the data s<strong>to</strong>red in .<strong>DBF</strong> file can<br />

Lack of readable contents- When you open the file is<br />
gibberish or becomes incomprehensive contents then the<br />

open file” or “data file inaccessible error” then the file<br />
probably becomes damaged or corrupted.<br />
According <strong>to</strong> Microsoft 90% of the database gets corrupted due<br />
