Hi Joel,
SYMPTOMS
When you try to import a large dBase III file into Access 2002, you may
receive an error message that says that Access is not responding. If you
then try to import another dBase file, the following error message may
appear:
Unexpected error from external database driver
If you click Help, no help is available.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur either because of a corrupted .dll file or because
of a problem during Access 2002 installation.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, perform the following procedures in the order
that they appear, until the error message no longer appears.
Run the Microsoft Office Detect and Repair Utility
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Click Microsoft Office 2002 version, and then click Change.
Click Repair Office to restore the installation to its original state, and
then follow the on-screen instructions.
Try again to import the file.
Download and Install the Latest Version of MDAC
To download the latest version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC),
go to the following Microsoft Web site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/dataaccess
.asp
This site also provides links to information about installing MDAC.
After you install MDAC, try again to import the file.
Temporarily Rename the Borland Folder
dBase is a product of Borland Software. The default location for the
Borland folder is C:\Program Files\Borland.
CAUTION: Renaming the Borland folder may cause other programs to function
improperly. Change the folder name back to the original name after you
export the database that you need.
Click Start, point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders.
In the Search for files or folders named box, type Borland, and then click
Search Now.
Right-click the folder in the list that appears, and then click Rename.
Type a new name for the folder, and then press ENTER.
Try again to import the file.
Please let me know has this helped You...
Thank you...
