1. Download another program.

Different file extensions work with different programs, and it can be difficult to figure out which program opens which files. Here are a few programs that usually work with DBK files:

• dBASE Database Backup
• OrCAD Schematic Capture Backup File

You can download one of these programs from the software developer’s website.

2. Look at the file type.

The file type can sometimes tell you which program might open the file. If you have DBK files, they are most likely types of Backup Files. A program that works with Backup Files should open DBK files.

Don’t know the file type? You can find it by right-clicking the file and selecting “Properties” or “More Info.” The file type will be listed under “Type of File” or “Kind”.

3. Check with the software developer.

Try contacting the developer of one of the programs mentioned above. They can help you figure out why your DBK file won’t open. Some of the most common developers are listed below.

Software	Developer
dBASE Database Backup	Windows Programmer
OrCAD Schematic Capture Backup File	Cadence Design Systems Inc.

4. Install a universal file viewer.

Universal file viewers can open many different types of files, depending on the format. If your DBK file won’t open, try installing a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download). Some files aren’t compatible with universal file viewers. These files will only open in binary file format.
