Step 1: Double-click the file.
Locate the DB3 file icon and double-click it. If you have the right program installed, it should open the file automatically. If it doesn’t, move on to Step 2.
Step 2: Look for another program.
If the DB3 file doesn’t open when you double-click it, you probably don’t have the right program on your computer. There are several popular programs that can be used to open a DB3 file. Try one of the three most common programs: Unknown Apple II File, dBASE III File, or Dr Brain 3.
Step 3: Check the file type.
If none of the above programs will open your DB3 file, check the file type to make sure you have a program that can open that type of file. Most DB3 files are Database Files, but there’s a chance it might be another type.
You can find this information in the file’s properties. On a Windows computer, just right-click the file and click properties, and look for the file type under “Type of File.” On a Mac computer, right-click the file and click “More info,” and look for the file type under “Kind.”
Step 4: Get help from a developer.
If you can’t figure out how to open a DB3 file, a developer can probably tell you how. Find the program you have in the table below and contact the developer of that program.
| Program Name | Developer Name |
|---|---|
| Unknown Apple II File | found on Golden Orchard Apple II CD Rom |
| dBASE III File | Unknown |
| Dr Brain 3 | PC Software Company |
Step 5: Find a universal file viewer.
The easiest way to open a DB3 file, or any kind of file, is to use a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download). You can use it to open many different file formats. If it’s not compatible, the file will just open in binary.
