This table uses the field type "W", which is not part of the dBASE standard. The trunk of TDbf reports "Invalid file". I don't think we'd want to break the standard, especially without knowing more about what created this file.
The best solution is to avoid using dBASE entirely if you are using Unicode.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
