- Description
- A DBF (Database File) is a file format that originated with the dBASE database management system, which was one of the first widely used database systems in the 1980s. The format has since been adopted and supported by other database and software applications for storing structured data in a tabular form. A DBF file typically contains a header, which defines the structure of the database, including information about fields (columns) such as name, type, and size, followed by records (rows).
- XLM (Microsoft Excel Macro) is a file type that stores macro code written in the Excel macro language. It is used to automate tasks within a Microsoft Excel document, such as performing calculations, formatting data, and performing other more complex tasks. XLM files can be opened in Microsoft Excel and other compatible programs.
