Report DBF file : database connection in Database and File IO Posted May 23, 2008 QUOTE (fungiscience @ Feb 21 2007, 06:05 PM) Hello,I try to connect to a DBF File (a dBase file which is supposed to be supported by the LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit) using the LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit. I always get an error when I supply the Open Connection VI with the DSN, or the file path or when I configure manually the dialog with Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider and the file path to the dbf file (The test connection doesn't work either). Here is the error from the dialog Test connection button : Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unrecognised database format Here is the error when a supply the file path in input : Error 1 occurred at DB Tools Open Connec (Path).vi->MEPR-Query Database-Get data.vi Possible reason(s): The file provided is not a data link (UDL) or a file DSN. Any tips? Hi, You may need to replace your dbf file with a backup. If you don't have any backup, I think you can try some repair tools. I have used a tool called http://www.datanumen.com/adr/' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">Advanced DBF Repair to repair my DBF database. It is a powerful tool and worked well for me, but it is not free, so can be used in the end. Hope this still can be useful.
