ADO & DBASE FILES

I am tring to use the ADO components to connect to a DSN of Dbase 3 files. I
am using WinXP and BCB6 pro.
When I drop the ADO table, Database connection, and a simple DBgrid I make
the ADO table active and I can see the grid with data populated. When I
compile I get the following error

Debugger Exception Notification
---------------------------
Project Project1.exe raised exception class EVariantTypeCastError with
message 'Could not convert variant of type (Null) into type (String)'.
Process stopped.

I am sure this is a very simple problem but I have not been able to figure
it out. I appreciate any help.
