Data Access Page on Startup

[guidop12]

Hi to all

I have a database that I put a data access page in the startup so that it
will instruct user on what to do with the database as soon as it opens. My
problem is when I try to import a DBF file it comes up with: Unexpected error
from external database driver (15877). I can import any other kind of file
but a DBF.

Any help would be appreciated.

What version of Access? I have 2003 and .dbf is an option for Import.

Thank you for replying. I should have mentioned though that I can import the
DBF file if I take the data access page out of the startup,close the database
and then reopen it.
