.dbf files

I have a program with a .dbf file. I wish to alter/amend this, but am unsure how to view the file to do this. Could some kind soul assist me with this?? This file belongs to a database program - appreciate any help given.

I have looked at this file, but am having trouble decifering the information. I know what is says when the program is starting,

'This is copy number XXX, and it is Licensed to XXXXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX for use on the premises of this licensee

Press any key to continue'

It reads like this:

'M_1HV_3XK
;¥TΘn3DZo1@_=£æ}Wα≤Rôö╥?╒│╩█mQD⌠⌠ç£╔Ω╩╩dwæí≤▄w{Q5g N0─└üσΦjág2δs_ Hæ
"╥WF≡√φæ'
Any help appreciated.................

This is a data cd made for me from my own original information................I'm not ripping anyone off here. I merely want to copy without giving away my personal address details, as I'm a private person, with a post box, silent phone number etc. which I was not informed would be coded into the cd.

I have spent 24 yrs working on this data information. I'm looking at throwing away a couple of hundred $$$ and having to start all over again.

I don't expect some people to understand. I've spent a lot of money on this project.............now I'm back to square one, it looks like I will have to scrap this cd.............damn!!

Please don't judge other people unless u understand the circumstances..................thankyou

that's right and that's the only legal purpose for the copy of the original cd!
