Hi,
I am trying to link DBF files in an access database and I
get the following message:

The microsoft Jet database engine could not find the
object "filename".

I am not able to link at all. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jean-Paul
 
This is from the XP version
Microsoft has created dBASE ISAM drivers for Microsoft Jet 4.0 that do not
require the installation of the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to provide
full read/write access to dBASE files. The default Jet 4.0-based dBase ISAM
drivers that ship with Microsoft Data Access Component (MDAC) 2.1 and later,
allow read-only access to dBASE files unless the BDE is installed. To obtain
these ISAM drivers, you must contact Microsoft Technical Support and request
that they be sent to you.

As I recall 97 does not allow links to dbf files. (Jet 3)
