What is TVF file?

The TVF file has been categorized as Settings Files. It was designed by dataBased Intelligence, Inc.. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. DBASE Table View Settings appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The dBASE application is recommended to open the file. It was released by dataBased Intelligence, Inc..

How to open TVF file?

An often recurring problem with DBASE Table View Settings is that TVF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TVF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TVF file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install dBASE

In this case, you should first verify that the dBASE application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing dBASE into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TVF.

Programs to open TVF file

Remember to download programs supporting TVF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of dBASE with TVF files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TVF file still does not use the dBASE program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the dBASE application as the default for handling the TVF file.

Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version

If, despite the association of the dBASE program with the DBASE Table View Settings file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TVF file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The TVF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TVF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TVF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TVF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TVF files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TVF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact dataBased Intelligence, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TVF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TVF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TVF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TVF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
