Our HP3000 still generates dBase ][ DBF files that users can download and open with Excel. 

A few of our users upgraded to Office 2010 or Windows something and the file association for DBF to Excel had to be reestablished.

It seems by default, if you attempt to "open" it without associating it to Excel properly first, it defaults to opening the file with Adobe Acrobat and then it associates the file to PDF forever.  It would take a Windows expert to undo it, apparently.

The old ways of disassociating and reestablishing a file association no longer work apparently.
