[AccessD] Importing dbf files

I had this problem when converting dBase to Access. I had to export the
table into Excel & then into Access - this worked.

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,
