u mean the computer file *.dat? I don't think you can 'open' it in any manner. Its a data file which is in coded form for the computer application to use. Why do you want to open that file for?

A .dat file can be used for anything probably a VCD if its a "video"

Use Window Media Player to open it if it is a video.

in fact, if it is any piece of media, you can open it in Media player. If it's a partially downloaded application, it won't work...

hehe maybe and he is desperate to open it.

OR ... more likely he is trying to fiddle with a *.dat virus file! I guess he / she is trying to update or modify that file so that he can do something funny with it

Am I right fella?

So this company is sending your pornography in a document?

Ok, ok...

That DAT file could be anything, as for how to open it, that's difficult to say. It could be a media file or a database file, could be anything for all I know. We would need more detailed information to help you Lusipher.

Although, I would request that company to send you the file in another format.
