Strange database

    Anybody got any idea how I can link into a database I have, it look like foxpro but i'm unsure, the file extentions are .dbf but I cannot open it with access, or link into it.
    The name of the application that uses teh database is VOCIRE or OCCH.exe, I managed to get this from scouring through the .stf files that are in the program's directory

    I don't know what you mean by link in.. depends what your working in or with... modern dbf files would usually be Foxpro based.. but could easily be older dBase or (god forbid) Clipper databases.

    If you just need a viewer to see whats stored I'm sure a google search will return hundreds of applications that'll do the job.

    Nah the thing is this database was used previously for storing Hepatitus vaccinations results but it hasn't been used for quite a while, but now they need to extract the data out of it and export it into somthing friendly (Access or similar) I don't have the original set up disks or data or any paperwork.

    this has an export function..

    export to something standard like a CSV file and then import into access.
