Importing DBF-Files

Hello,

I am new to dbForge for MySQL.
I try to import some FoxPro DBF-Files. Some Files are working, others not with different messages from dbForge for MySQL or with shifted data within the MySQL table after the import.

This question is for one situation:
After I selected the DBF-table I want to import, entering a new name for the MySQL-table and hit the next button, dbForge for MySQL comes up with en error message, wich sais "Invalid DBF type".

I can't find any explenations within the help file nor I could find a thread inside this forum.

Can anyone help me, please, to understand what is wrong with my table?

Thanks in advance
Stefan

Could you please send us the DBF file so we can investigate the issue in details on our side? Since the file may contain any confidential information, we suggest you to archive it to the ZIP file format and send straight to our support system e-mail address which is [email protected], so we will keep further correspondence with you via this system.
