[AccessD] dBASE

Hi David:

I understand that an older version of Access (2003) may be able to read the file. I would suspect data corruption would be at fault and could be resolved. The old DBase file formats were basically text files with forward and backward links so if necessary a good editor could allow you to fix the file directly.

Are there any dBASE specialists out there? We have an old dBASE 5.0 db
that's getting syntax errors while trying to run a report.

I don't even know where to begin. I haven't touched rBase in over 15 years.

I would love to pic your brain.

Thanks,
David
