Description

Use TableType to specify the database table structure for a dBASE, Paradox, FoxPro or ASCII table. TableType does not apply to tables for remote SQL servers. TableType can be set to any of the following values:

Value 
Meaning 
ttDefault  
(Default) Determine table type based on file extension for the table.  
ttParadox  
Table is a Paradox table.  
ttDBase  
Table is a dBASE table.  
ttFoxPro  
Table is a FoxPro table.  
ttASCII  
Table is a text file with comma-delimited, quoted strings for each field  
DB or none  
Paradox table

dBASE table  
TXT  
ASCII table  

If TableType is set to ttDefault, the table's file-name extension determines the table type:

Extension 
Meaning 
DB or none

If TableType is ttParadox, ttDBase, ttFoxPro or ttASCII, the table type is assumed to be of the type specified, regardless of the table's file name extension.
