I need a macro that will open a .DBF file to a tab in my worksheet. Is this possible? If so, can you show me the code needed and if not would you have any alternative suggestions? Thank you

Sub ABC()
Dim r1 as Range, r as Range, bk as Workbook
set r1 = Activesheet.range(“A1″)
set bk = workbooks.open(“C:\Myfolder\Myfile.dbf”)
set r = bk.worksheets(1).Range(“A1″).currentRegion
r.copy r1
bk.close SaveChanges:=False
end sub

That is the way I have been doing it successfully in xl2003 and earlier for years. Support for Saving as DBF was dropped in xl2007 for sure but I believe it can still read a dbf file.
And more use: DBF Restore Toolbox fo restore your files simple,
