What is the database that the file extension is .dat for data and .ind for index

[Todd Chen]

Hi,Everybody,

I have to access one database file directly, but I don't know what the database
it is. The database file extension is .dat, the index file extension is .ind.
I don't have any idea what database it is.

Does anybody know what it is? It's old format on DOS, develop at around 1994.

Thanks.

Todd:

I believe it is a 'DBase' database. It may also be FoxPro.

Cheers,

If you have MS Access available try to create a link to the file. Try the
different formats (fox pro or dbase) and see which works.
