Hi Mythran,

For the record, not all DBFs are compatible with the dBase driver. FoxPro
DBFs created with VFP3-6 may be accessed via the FoxPro and Visual FoxPro
ODBC drivers, downloadable from
msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/odbc, and also DBFs that are
created with VFP7-9 if they don't use any of the new data features added in
VFP7 and above.

All versions of FoxPro DBFs are accessible via the FoxPro and Visual FoxPro
OLE DB data provider, downloadable from
msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates .
