I have been importing and exporting dbf for some time now and all of the
sudden when i import a dbf file I get this message "Unexpected error from
external database driver (10049)" and it wont allow me to import the dbf
file. Is there a way to fix this problem. The only solution that I have
found is opening the dbf file in Foxpro and then closing it and then I can
import my dbf file back in to Access.

Please help

Thanks in Advance
