Link/Import - different results on different PCs.

[Akw]

I am getting different results on 2 PCs. I am trying to link to a
freestanding DBASE5 table, held on a local network.
On PC 'A' I am prompted for the index file and can subsequently see the
reference to it in design view.
But on PC 'B' I do not get the prompt and the indexes do not appear. I have
copied the table to the local hard drives the the same result.
Both machines use the same version (9) of Access2000.

A different, but perhaps related problem occurs on importing a DBASE5 table
that has an associated memo file. This table has .dbf, .idx & .fpt suffixes.
On PC 'A',I can import successfully, But on PC 'B' I get the following:
Failed to import table. External table is not in the expected format (3274).

I cannot see any difference in the Access settings between these two PCs.

Any help with these problems will be much appreciated.

Check to see that both PCs are running the same OS with the same Service
Packs, and that your ODCB drivers are identical.
Can't say if this will help, but it is something to look at.

---as well as same Service Pack levels of Access itself. Saying they are
both running Access 9 (2000) is only half an answer...
