Import dbf file

I am trying to import a dbf file into my Access DB using the following:

DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "dBase 5.0", "C:\temp\member.dbf"

I get an error message indicating that the path is not valid. The file
exists exactly as specified and I can import the file manually. Any ideas?

Your help is appreciated in advance.
 
Thank you very much Alex. That was exactly what was needed.

Another question (off topic)... can you recommend a good reference manual
that will provide this kind of answers to my questions? I find that most of
the good questions I have can (have been) answered here.

Thanks again
 
Hi !

I think you'll find that reference manuals don't cover things like the
question you asked. For the best "reference manual" go to
http://groups.google.com and put some relevant keywords in the search box.
Also, there's an advanced search where you can specify a time period and
range of newsgroups such as microsoft.public.access.* .

Google Groups has been a great source of information for me when I'm working
with technology that is outside my area of expertise (Visual FoxPro).
