dave, Simple question without a simple answer, at least not from me. ".dat" files are likely application specific files created by many programs. There is no one program you can use to open them to do anything useful. You can probably get an idea of which application they belong to from the folders that contain them. You can open them in a word processor program, but usually you will find they have little or no readable text. Dan

dave any place that explains which program is used to open certain files depending on the extension? Search for whatever extension you are wondering about and this site will give you some info. When you search, follow the link to whosit for more info extsearch.com
