If I remember correctly, later versions of dBase files require the
Borlund Database Engine on the machine for the import/export to work.

	Has anyone had any luck importing dbf files?  I am using the
following command to import: DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "dBase
IV", _
	    InputDir, acTable, txtFile, Import.  And I receiving the
error that Jet could not find the object that I selected.  This was
selected using the open file form that I took from one Ken Getz's books.
	 
	TxtFile is the dbf file that I trying to import and Import is
the table that I am trying to import to within Access.
	
	Also, if I type in DBase 5, I receive this error: dBase 5 isn't
an installed database type or doesn't support the operation you chose.
	 
	I am using Access 2000 with everything installed except for the
Office Assistant.
	 
	Thank you,
