Is the DBF in the current directory or elsewhere? Perhaps, instead, you could try setting up an ODBC connection to the table and go through that.

It also did not give the reserved words error. The error that I now get is #2585, Cannot find dBase file in current directory or path. It just attached the file, how can it have a path error? This occurs when I want to open the table. I probably shouldn't be opening the table? Creating a form based on the table does work. However, using that form creates the same error. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 5:06 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Problems attaching DBase table Hans: if you type "SET ANSI OFF" before attaching, does that help any? Karen I end up with a "R:Base eXtreme 9.0 (64) has encountered a problem and needs to close" error and Windows wants to call home. Following is my process (using R:Base eXtreme 9.0 (64) with the latest updates installed): - Connect a R:Base 9 database - Attach a DBF table, no index - receive error msgs that reserved words are being used and I update each of those when it pops up with an acceptable field name. When it is through, it comes up with the Microsoft problem. What am I not understanding that is creating this error? I am not using an index, yet, just wanting to open the DBF table. This problem exists if I want to open a 52MB table or a 1KB table. I keep getting the Windows error message and R:Base crashes/terminates. R:Base opened the file or it wouldn't have known about the reserved word usage for the column names. Thoughts, please?
