@Jochen,

before you could import a dBase table into Base you have to create a new
database in Base. The wizard asks, when creating a new connection to a
dBase-Database, for the folder, where to look for the dBase-files. Formerly all
dBase-files were shown as tables in this new Base-Database.

Then create a new standalone Base-file: 
Database → Create a new database → Open the database for editing ..

Now you have two databases: 
The database, which connects to the dBase-files and shows all the tables inside
a folder ending with *.dbf
The new database for importing the tables form the dBase-Database.

With a right-click of the mousebutton over a dBase-Tabele from your Base-file,
which connects to the dBase-files, you could copy this table. After this action
go to the new database, whre the file should be imported. Now you have to paste
the file. The import-wizard appears as shown in the description
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=65021 .

When you will import the table without changing the filed-types a popup
appears: "A error occured". This happens, because there are values in the
table, which could not be shown with the filed-types the wizard will create.
And the field-types, the wizard will create, are not the same which were shown,
when opening the *.dbf-file with LO-Calc. When you change the filed-types and
length, the wizard creates, to the field-types and length, which are shown in
Calc, the import works.
