can't link dbf tables

[josehuiza]

Hi, my friends, I have a problem, I used to work with a linked dbf table, but i had to reinstall my pc and now i can't connect to that table, I get a message like "the name of the table is not write well... verify the path and name"... but I verify and I can't find the problem, maybe a need some driver or controller. Please help me

Jose,

Is someone else in the dbf file? I know you can't link to a dbf file if someone's using it. That's most likely the only light I'll be able to shed on it, though, as I've only done a little bit of work on dbfs.

Maybe you should try to export the DBF with a freeware utility to an Access table. That would show the data isn't corrupt.

I know there are freeware DBF viewers available when you Google around for one.
