I have a .dbf file created in VFP 7. But time ago we upgraded VFP to 9 version. And in this new version I can`t open my old .dbf file. I got an error which says me "not a database file". How can I open it in VFP 9 version? Or I need to install my older version again?

You can do in two step:-

1. Run VFP 7.0 & Convert VFP 7.0 dbf to FoxPro 2.6 DBF
use <dbf name>
copy to <new dbf name> type fox2x

2. Run VFP 9.0
use <new dbf name>
