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.

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.
