You may also receive any of the following error messages:

Error 1919. Error configuring ODBC data source: dBASE Files. ODBC error 6: Verify that the file dBASE Files exists and that you can access it.



CAUSE
This issue may occur if the following ODBC registry keys are missing:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC

Note These keys may have been removed if you removed a Corel product from your computer. These products include any program in the Corel WordPerfect Office Suite.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps to download and install the latest version of MDAC. This replaces the registry keys in question.  Download MDAC 2.8 or later. To download MDAC 2.8 or later, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937730.aspx

Important Before you install MDAC 2.8, read the release details. After you read the release details, if you are not sure that these updates are appropriate for your computer, use the MDAC Component Checker. This utility scans your system, and then indicates the version of MDAC that is appropriate for your computer. To obtain this utility, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937695.aspx

 In Microsoft Windows Explorer, double-click the Mdac_typ.exe file that you downloaded in step 1 to start the MDAC Setup. Restart your computer. In Windows Explorer, double-click the Jet40SP3_Comp.exe file that you downloaded in step 1 to start the Jet 4.0 Setup. Restart your computer, and then log on by using administrative credentials.</li></ol>

Note MDAC 2.8 is also installed when you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). If the operating system is Windows XP, you may choose to install Windows XP SP2 instead of following the previous steps. To install Windows XP SP2, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://support.microsoft.com/xpsp2getinstall
