Hi Patti,
First determine if it's a problem with the Dbase file or your machine:
- Right click on a Access table and choose export to Dbase file format
- Then import the newly created Dbase file into your Microsoft Access
database file, if it succeeds then it's your Dbase file
If you can't import any Dbase files then it maybe an issue with the Dbase
ISAM driver on your machine. If so, download and install the updated
version of Microsoft Jet 3.5
