    need some help opening a .dat file.....

    i think he meant her as in her's , and Pampered Chef is a salesman program

    does Pampered Chef have it's own software, what do the dat files normally open in?

    .dat files are rarely directly opened, they are more often opened by the software that uses it.

    I don't know if will help, but I noticed in a thread someone (@chefsuccess.com) mentioned, that, you need to use the restore to import the file.

    I don't use the software, so, I have no idea on the steps/procedure.

    Goodluck*Smile *.dat file is opening in Notepad :)

    EDIT:

    Dam* those how-to web sites have everything.

    How to open a Dat file?

    Hi Peyton,

    It depends, a dat file is just a generic data file format. It can contain human readable content, it may just contain Bytecode .. .

    Right click that file and choose Open With - Notepad

    If it is human readable, that will allow you to read its content!
