DBF to MDB Converter

Note: The downloaded setup file offers to install all converter tools offered by this developer. To install only DBF to MDB Converter (also known as DBF to Access Converter), simply check its box and deselect everything else.

If you are planning on migrating your DBF database files to a different format, you need a capable software utility that would also enable you to fine-tune them in the process.

DBF to MDB Converter is one such program that can convert your DBF files to Microsoft databases while allowing you to customize the output as you see fit.

First and foremost, it must be pointed out that support for both MDB and ACCDB files is offered as far as the output options are concerned, so you should be covered regardless of the MS Access version you are relying on.

As for the application’s user interface, things are quite transparent, with the user being prompted with a three-tab window that guides you through the entire conversion operation.

The first step you need to take is select the DBF files you are interested in, with the possibility of removing any of the items on your list so that you only process those that are relevant to you.

Then, in the “Output” tab, you are asked to indicate a name for your new Access database, with the option to create a separate file for each source entry. As for existing files, you can overwrite, use, or skip them, among others, with the same options being available in the case of tables.

Regarding the “Options” section, it is worth mentioning that this is where you need to go in order to indicate the output file format. As said, MDB and ACCDB are your alternatives. Keeping, removing or replacing CR and LF symbols is also possible, and as far as spaces in character fields are concerned, you have several alternatives.

You can, for instance, remove strictly trailing spaces, trailing and leading spaces, or keep all of them, while overriding values from Logical fields with user-defined values should raise no difficulty either.

On an ending note, DBF to MDB Converter is a handy application that helps you migrate your DBF files to Microsoft Access databases while also letting you apply some modifications in the process. The program features an uncluttered GUI that makes user interaction hassle-free, proving responsive and bearing a low memory footprint.
