Error 3011 Jet database engine cannot find object

[Kim Baker]

I have a new error and I'm hoping the solution is easy.

Until recently I could click on a DBase IV file of type DBF in
explorer and Access would open and the .DBF file would appear as a
table. I could then look at the data contained in the file and its
field names.

This no longer happens.

When I click on the .DBF filename in explorer Access opens. But the
file is not loaded as a table.

I get the error message ' 3011 Jet database engine cannot find object
'filename.dbf', check spelling and path.'

As I have clicked on the filename as usual I cannot have mispelled it
or the path to it. Path is C:\price\filename.dbf

I have tried current files and archived files that once worked. No
difference.

Worse, I gave copies of current .dbf files and archived files to a
friend and his PC reacts the same.

I have also tried opening Access and importing the files and I get the
same error.

All help appreciated.
Cheers
Kim
