Re: opening a .dbf file in MS Access
Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance
I was wondering how do I go about opening a .dbf file in MS Access
because
every time that I try to open this type of file I encounter an error.
What
do I need to do to prevent this from happening over and over. The
message
that I get is
In Xbase (dBase and FoxPro) files, a memo field isn't stored in the database
itself. It's stored in another file called a memo file and a pointer to
that file is actually stored in the database. Both files have to be present
in order for Access to use the .dbf database file. Have you tried to browse
the databse in dBase or FoxPro? Does it work?
