I never used bBASE (*.DBF) with ODBC, but it should
work like any other ODBC database (that's why ODBC
exists in the first place)

First you have to make an ALIAS (Data Source Name) at
ControlPanel / AdministrativeTools / Data Sources (ODBC)

Chose: System DSN tab /Add / Microsoft dBase driver ...

DataSource name: SOMESHORTNAME
Uncheck 'Use current directory' if you want to
Browse for the DBF otherwise

Then use your ALIAS (SOMESHORTNAME) in the
appropriate properties of your TADOTAble/TADOConnection
etc...
