Hello,

ADO framework does not work with DBF tables. You should have a OLE DB driver
or ODBC driver for the database to connect using the ADO framework. If your
database (supporting DBF files) has an ODBC driver, first setup an ODBC DSN
uisng the Microsoft ODBC Administrator and then you should connect to this
DSN through the 'OLEDB Provider for ODBC' bridge.
