Hi,
I was trying to use Excel 2007 to retrieve data from Foxpro table. Most of
the table have no problem providing the data, there is one database called
invoice.dbc, and only 2 of its tables called invoice.dbf and
invoice_item.dbf I couldn't retrieve any data. I used the "From data
connection wizard" in Excel 2007 to create the connection. The resulting
error is:
"Data could not be retrieved from the database. Check the database server or
contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is
available, and then try the operation again."
Any idea why only these tables refused to let me read from Excel?
