FoxPro .dbf file

  Good afternoon!
  The situation is this. I have never worked in FoxPro but had to face. Generally, an error "Not a database file."
  
  I checked in a folder and there are KH.dbf, and KH.cbf. Check downloaded viewer without opening the database with the same error. The most interesting is that on Friday afternoon, everything worked, and this morning is here.
  May be someone knows how to open dbf file?

  if that is a foxpro file, try to open the file in a pc with microsoft visual foxpro installed.
  
  double clicking the file will launch ms visual foxpro and open it automatically if its not corrupted.

  Perform these actions to resolve this issue
  
  You need to create an environment under which the table is NOT validated when it is opened. This can be achieved by the command -SET TABLEVALIDATE TO 0. Now you can easily open your tables.
  
  These are some “Prevention Steps” to prevent your data from corruption:
  
  Try to put a code in your program that automatically creates a duplicate copy of your tables (columns & rows), index files and databases.
  Set-up a back-up routine.
  Inform the user to properly shutdown the computer and regularly perform back-up.
  Use UPS for power back-up
