Re: Cannot export data to .dbf file



Hi Carl,

You're working with a dBase 3 driver and a FoxPro table? Are you wanting the
resulting table to be a dBase 3 DBF or a FoxPro DBF? Have you considered
using the FoxPro and Visual FoxPro ODBC drivers, downloadable from
msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/odbc or the FoxPro and Visual
FoxPro OLE DB data provider, downloadable from
msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates ?

I have a package that is supposed to export data to a foxpro.dbf file.
There
is one step that creates the export file by using the dBase 3 odbc
connector
and uses the sql "Create table" statment to create the file. I cannot get
this to work. The error I get is "Unexpected error from external database
driver(9492)".
Googling this error has not turned up any answers. I tried removing that
step and instead having a data pump export directly to this file, but that
fails as well.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

ps. I set access levels on the dest folder to full control to everyone.

Thanks in advance!!
