Read / Write .dbf file

T

Todd Berntson

I am using Access 2003 and have installed Jet 4.0 service pack 8.
Whenever I open a .dbf file, Access automatically creates an .mdb file
from it. I cannot figure out a way to run reports or queries directly
from the .dbf file. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Todd,

If I understand you right, that's the way it is. Access has to use an
mdb (or adp) file to store its reports and queries. If you're using an
mdb, you have the choice of importing the data from the dbf or linking
to it, but either way there has to be an mdb file.
