    depends on the product that made the .dat database, it could be a ibm database, could be a adasage database.
    do you know what product made the database?

    because if you know what product made that databse you
    should be able to find a odbc driver for it then you could use it as is or import the data to a sqlserver database
    or access or whatever....

    Are you sure it's a database file? A lot of apps use the .dat extension just to show that it's a data file. Might not be anything standard at all. Check it out with Notepad/Wordpad like theman32x says, see what it looks like.
