Hello, I wrote an article some years ago, about converting dbf's into datasets (xml readable by DataSet.ReadXml's function), however, it can be slow on big dbf's ,you can try it free though.

Article.

For XLS or CSV, use OpenOffice.org.

The first row will be field names, followed by type abbreviation, field width (if applicable), and decimal places (if applicable).There's probably an option to turn off this behavior. In the mean time if you have MS Excel, it defaults to not adding this information into the first row cells.

There's Exportizer (http://www.vlsoftware.net/exportizer/index.html) which also comes with a $$$$ "Pro" version, and DBF Viewer Plus (http://www.alexnolan.net/software/dbf.htm) by Alex Nolan.

Both are freeware, both should allow you to export to at least CSV (or more).

Microsoft Excel can open DBF files and save it on many formats

Note that with an older MS-Excel version you might run into troubles with more than 65535 records...

@Roalt Yes, that's true for Excel 2003 and older
