I don't think it is a bug.
Microsoft Excel opens (imports) *.dbf files too.
There is not much that Base opens directly. Is there a jDBC connector for *.dbf that you could use?
Microsoft Access 2007 opens dBase III, IV, 5 I see (and it is the only one I have lying around that
I can check). And, much to my surprise, dBase is still in production, but I guess you don't want
that product.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] *dbf files open in Calc & not Base
Hi
The standard for many years for Database files was >> *.dbf (dBase) and
I have many.
It is very strange that in LibreOffice this opens up in Calc and not
Base, no matter how I try to force it.
Calc is simply not good enough to handle Database files.
This is also confirmed in the File Open lists:- dBase(.dbf) is listed
in Calc and it is absent from Base
Is this a bug - have I missed something ?
regards
John B
