OK, I solved my own problem (that seems to be the case 50% of the time, just posting to this groups seems to awaken certain brain cells that tell me where to look)
There is a corrupted record in the .dbf file. If I get the file open while linked in Access, delete the bad record, then close it, I can then query the .dbf file directly. Only problem is, I'm working with a local copy, and every time I copy over an updated version, it still has the bad record in it. I'm going to try to get the other system to correct the bad record on the original so I can automate the process a little more. > In a related question, I am trying to make use of a dbf file, but I'm not > able to do much with it. When I copy it locally, I can "link" it in Access. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
