I encountered a problem when linking a dBase IV format table into an
Access 97 database. The following error occured:
"The microsoft jet database engine could not find the object
<filename>.dbf. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name
correctly."
I found out that the file name should no more than 8 characters,
excluding the extension ".dbf".
Probably, dBase files should always obey this format, but my file was
generated by an export function of a legacy system that allowed the user
to choose any file name.
I hope this helps someone.
