Access-Dbase Or Remarry

I have been married for 36 years. I really don't want a diorce, but I think I might have to in order to get access to work for me. It appears to get the best way to get D base to work with access it to get divorced and remarried, ha. We have tried several ways to get import data into access from a Dbase IV file. We have tried by a Dbase import and a text delimined file import. We get a subcript out of range. There seems to be several issues here. One of them is if you have numbers in a dbase text field, and try to import them intp access, the documentation and access says we have to put quotes around the numbers. That didnt work.

Actually, rather than going into great detail of what we have tried, let me just tell you that we cant import the file. Can anyone help? We have the folling type of filds in dbase: date fileds, text field with numbers, and numeric fileds. Please help.

P.S. I am happily married, so i would prefer not to go the marriage route with dbase.
