Reading Foxpro dbf files

[Meysam Mahfouzi]

Hi, I'm not much familiar with Foxpro files. I'm just about to read a bunch of dbf files. The problem is that I can open some of them in visual studio.net, but when trying to open the rest, I encounter the following error: External table is not in the expected format. (Error 3274) The format of the table has changed since it was linked. Link the table again, and then retry the operation. I can't even open those *.mdf files in the Microsoft Access because of the same error that occures. Do you know why it is like this, and how I can solve it? Thanks in advance -Maysam

External table is not in the expected format. (Error 3274) The format of the table has changed since it was linked. Link the table again, and then retry the operation. this error ussually because the database link in foxpro in broken. u can to to connect to indivudual table instead of database.. use use the foxpro table driver in ODBC there..
