In Access 2007, trying to import a legit dbf file which has a file
name greater than 8 characters produces an error.
Going to External Data, Import, More, dBASE file if you select a legit
dbf file with a file name greater than 8 characters, it gives you an
error "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object
'zeroreserves05q5'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell
its name and the path correctly." The error code is 503011. If that
exact same dbf file is simply renamed to 8 or fewer characters, it
imports perfectly.
I have not been able to find anything in the knowledge base about this
or the error code. This occurs every time under the above conditions
on multiple computers using Access 2007. This does not occur using
Access 2003. Anyone else hitting this?
