dbf file in FoxPro 9.0

Good time of day to all,
Help, who can, cannot open a file with the extension dbf.
Maybe there is a program for the treatment?
Thank you.

    You should be able to open the dbf file in Visual FoxPro v9. If you're having trouble, try opening the dbf file in Microsoft Excel and see if it will open.

    If it opens in Excel, then you might have a corrupt table. Usually this is caused by an incorrect record count in the table's header record. Check out this tutorial on how you might be able to fix it...

    Ultimate solution is directed to severe corruption in .dbf files https://dbf.recoverytoolbox.com/ Recovery Toolbox for DBF

    It is not necessary to rebuild a corrupt database. All corrupt databases can fixed in less than one minute.

    The solution is:

    Open database to main screen

    Copy the database but only one record(just pick a not recent record number at random; include "all", I usually name this database "FixMMDD" (( month Day))

    Open original database to mainscreen and append the FIXMMDD.dbf.

    You're done.

    Occassionally you may have to update indexes. Very rarely are any records lost and when it happens those few records are clearly garbled.

    I've been doing this for three years with no problems.

    If you have fields that increment you'll have to adjust that for your last valid value.
