The main advantage is the widespread recognition of the DBF format among different software applications. CAPITAL databases can be accessed directly from WinFax software; CAPITAL data files can be mail merged into Microsoft Word or loaded into Microsoft Excel or analyzed using Access. Many popular applications natively recognize DBF so file conversions are often not required. For applications that require ODBC links, many ODBC drivers are available for working with DBF files.
