DBF to XLS Converter

Users who work with numerous database files might at some point need to open these files in other applications that handle database files, such as Microsoft Office Excel. The task of manually converting each file into Excel compatible formats is quite cumbersome and, sooner or later, people might require a more efficient solution. DBF to XLS Converter was created to help users convert multiple DBF files into XLS / XLSX Excel file formats with ease and no additional headaches.

DBF to XLS Converter features a minimalist interface that houses basic tools for converting database files to Excel compatible formats. Its layouts are clean and easy to understand, providing a quick and efficient handling,

The interface provides a three tab setup where one can input the DBF files, select which of them to be converted and the corresponding text encoding. However, the file list window is quite rudimentary and the application doesn’t offer options for sorting or displaying certain details such as size, date modified, name, etc.

Users will be able to convert their database files with ease and the utility will even offer options for handling file conflicts. If the application will detect existing files when running the conversion process, it will allow users to overwrite, use, skip or create new names for each file.

After the conversion process is completed, users can view a detailed log of the steps taken for each file, with information about the file size and export time. Nevertheless, confirming the completion of the process by clicking the “Finish” button will close the application completely. Users can only return to the input screen by restarting the process, but the application will still load the old files.

For people who require a quick and efficient way of converting their database files in other formats such as the XLS / XLSX, this application might be all they require. It will convert multiple files with ease and they will have no trouble in handling it. However, its limited number of features and shortcomings, such as the lack of sorting options, do not recommend it to more experienced users, who might require additional, more advanced features.
