Import DBF

Hi There! I have a problem with a DBF file. The problem is that somebody gaves me a data base in DBF format and he uses in SQL Server 2000 and EMS SQL Manager. Well, I have to instal the MDE and SQL Enterprise Manager and when I use the DTS tool to import the data I've got this error:

'Error not Especified'

and I don't know what's happen and how to solve it. Please! Any ideas!

("Sorry about my english")i would like at the sql server error log but I am guessing you do not have the right database driver for the type of database you are trying to import.|||hi, is a dbase files? try test your odbc with the Excel query, maybe, your problem is the connection. test this and tell me.

import accessfiles with stored procedures

Hi,
Could somebody tell me how to import access-files to a sql server database?
I would like to import all tables from access to the temp, do some
data-manipulation and then insert into a database. I know that dts can
import, but i want to address the tempdb so i don't have to create
temptables in my databases.
I hope someone can help me.Jason
One option is
INSERT INTO .....
SELECT *
FROM OPENDATASOURCE(
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source="d:\northwind.mdb";
User ID=Admin;Password='
)...Customers

I've tried to use your example, but i'm getting errors which says that it
cannot find the path, but i'm sure the file is there?
Here's the statement:
SELECT *
FROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data
Source="D:\klient.mdb";User ID=Admin;Password=')...sysdata
And here's the error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Could not find file 'D:\klient.mdb'.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'

Have you ran on the server or client machine?
Where is the file's location on the server?
