Having trouble trying to open a .dbf file

I'm using the odbc dBASE connector to open the dbf files. The tables show up in the list but when I try to select any of the tables I get the following error:
User generated imageI've tried changing the odbc to dBASE V, IV, and III and still have same error.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

What version of dBASE are you using?

It sounds like one or more tables may be corrupted.

I've been told they are foxpro tables and to connect to them you'd have to use the dBASE connector. I copied them from the live server onto my computer

So I found the odbcfoxpro.msi installer on microsofts site and installed it. Now I can select some tables over but a lot of them give me this error now:

Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
