Hi Don Lopez,

Here are the simplified steps to use the DBFReader component in OutSystems:

1. Install the DBFReader component from the Forge.
2. Create a web screen or action where you want to read the DBF file.
3. Use the `DBFReader.ReadFile` action to read the DBF file, providing it with the binary data of the file.
4. Use the `DBFReader.GetRecords` action to retrieve the records from the DBF file.
5. Process and display the data as needed in your OutSystems application.
6. Implement error handling to handle any potential issues during file reading or processing.
