That solution worked perfectly. I thought I had previously done what you suggested but apparently not. I have been struggling with this for days. Also thanks for replying so quickly.

I have an old Visual Foxpro Database that is a legacy system. I need to be able to access the database using Excel 2010 to be able to do some additional analysis on the data that was not included in the original program. I have tried the connections tab in Excel but it doesnt seem to be able to connect to the file. I can connect to the data using a DB viewer but not through Excel. Can anyone suggest somethings I can try? The attached file is a dbf file.<br />

Connecting to Visual Foxpro with DBC  Using Excel 2010

Visual FoxPro (VFP), and its predecessor FoxPro, is a data-centric, object-oriented, procedural, database programming language and IDE from Microsoft last released in 2007 that still has some active use due to its low cost of deployment and fairly rapid development. In 2008, Microsoft released a set of add-ons for VFP's xBase components to allow interoperability with various Microsoft technologies. It allows data processing against its native file-based data tables or database servers such as SQL Server.

FoxPro

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
