Accessing a .dbf file in SQL Server 2000

I am new to SQL Server 2000, and anxious to get started. I'm beginning with a project that will use a file saved in the .dbf(dBase) format.

I looked in the Books on Line under 'OLEDB Provider' and didn't find any help about dbf files. I did use the 'OLEDB Provider for Jet' example to create a linked server that accessed an Excel spreadsheet.

Can someone give me some pointers in accessing my dbf file in SQL Server 2000?

Thanks for any help.

Randyyou can create an odbc datasource and then set up a linked server with the 'ole db for odbc' driver. See in books online for more info.

Access/SQL "Write Conflict"

Hello,
I'm using a Access 97 Front-end and a SQL Server 2000 back-end.
When entering a subform on a form, information has to be saved to the
database.
But when entering the subform I get a "Write conflict" error in Access.
In SQL I'm using 3 tables with 1 view defined on those 3 tables. I use
INSTEAD OF INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers to handle
INSERTS/UPDATES/DELETES.
In Access I use that View as a Source for the form.
Does anyone know why I get this error?

When I followed the execution of the code, I saw that the "Write
Conflict" error appeared after the following sub executed:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.Dirty Then If ap_ConfirmAction(Me, apUpdate) = vbNo Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
'###ROY TOEGEVOEGD VOOR GENEREREN GUID
If IsNull(Me.dummyveld) Then
Set ObjGUID = CreateObject("event.util")
GUID = ObjGUID.GetNewGUID()
Me.dummyveld = Mid(GUID, 2, 36)
Set ObjGUID = Nothing
End If
End Sub
After the "End Sub" the "Write Conflict" error pops up.
I hope someone can help me.
