I think you've bought the wrong product. ElevateDB's native file extensions are .EDBTbl, EDBIdx, EDBBlb. DBISAM (the older product) uses Dat, Idx, Blb. You need to either convert the tables over to ElevateDB format (there are migrator options in EDBManager) or contact ElevateSoft sales.

As Roy indicated, it seems that you might have purchased the wrong product.  If you have .dat files, those are most likely DBISAM table files.  You can find out if this is the case by trying to open these same table files using the Database System Utility for DBISAM, which you can download from here:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/download?action=info&category=dbisam&type=dbisamadd&majorversion=4&version=4.42

After installing the DBISAM-ADD installation from the above link, launch the Database System Utility from the Windows Start/Programs menu and then select Utilities/Table Version.  Select any or all of the tables from the directory where the .dat files are located, and the utility should tell you:

a) If the table files are actually DBISAM table files.
b) What version of DBISAM the table files are used with.

If you do need the DBISAM ODBC Driver instead of the ElevateDB ODBC Driver/.NET Data Provider, then please contact sales at sales@elevatesoft.com and let Sam know that you purchased the wrong product.  She'll make sure that you get the correct product.
