I always get "Error # -60 Opening file" with the function "Read Dbase file

I allways get "Error # -60 Opening file" with the function "Read Dbase file"

The documentation contains NAME,WERT,TYPE,DIRECTION , which is wrong!
The *.dbf file needs the columns NAME,WERT,TYP,DIRECTION .

This error also occurs if the dbase File is opened with another application (i.e. Excel) while the function "Read Dbase file" is executed. Thus the dBase fie needs a exclusively file access when the function is executed.

Please also note that i.e variablenames - which have to be inserted the column "NAME" - is limited to 11 charachters.

also important with .dbf import, is the filename and the path where this file is stored.

The filename should be in the DOS 8.3 format, and be in a directory close to the root. (ideally in the root directory of a volume)
