Hi list,
I've come into a weird problem with regards to dbase and opening .dbf
files. If the dbf file is a certain name such as "theme6.dbf" it won't
open BUT when i rename the file to say "jackass.dbf" then it works
perfectly ?? I checked all permissions on the folder and the file is not
open in any other program, but obviously i'm missing something ??
Anybody have a clue ????

-thanks
