Hi,

I had such a problem along time ago. What I had to do was use my hex editor
and change the dBase version number in the file to a higher version.

We had a discussion about dBase file format last month and the information
that Marie collect can be downloaded at
www.knutselhoek.nl/topaz/dbase1.zip.
