'No data'error dBase IV

Post by levyl-8 » Mon 09 Jul 2018 12:19

How do I deal with the dbf file error message 'No data'error? It shows up for one dbf file but not others. Why does dBase IV gives me this pop up every time? Thanks very much in advance for all your help.

If you want to link a .dbf file, you should use the shortname (8 characters)provided by DOS. You can find the generated shortname by typing 'DIR /X' in the command prompt from MS Dos. Maybe you should apply the same in MS Access. More indo: https://www.repairtoolbox.com/dbfrepair.html
