	Also, DBFs are not necessarily DBFs. There are various versions out 
there, and some have made structural changes that make them unreadable 
by standard DBF access methods. Visual FoxPro has greatly expanded the 
old-style DBF from standalone tables to a full database/table 
relationship. If your data is in one of these newer formats, you'll 
probably have to export it to be able to use it.
