I would like to apologize for any inconvenience. However, may we ask for clarification of what exactly you are trying to accomplish, please?
Are you trying to create a form where options in a field (radio button, checkbox, drop-down) will come from an outside source?
Or, you would only want to pre-fill the form with data that's coming from an outside source?
We will wait for your response.

Exactly the second option. I would only want to pre-fill the form with data that's coming from an outside source database (.dbf) file. Only for viewing data from outside database.

->You can prepopulate your form via URL parameters. In order to achieve this, you can create a web page (PHP, ASP, JAVA) to use this to access to your database file or database and generate a URL with URL desired URL parameter and populate your form with data.
Prepopulating Fields to Your JotForm via URL Parameters
-> You can convert your .dbf file to a spreadsheet and you can use this spreadsheet with our Spreadsheet to Form widget in order to populate the form fields based on a specific field.
How to Use the Spreadsheet to Form Widget
I hope these help.
