    How to import a dBASE table in Access 2013

    I know that dBASE tables import facilty have been discontinued in Access 2013, but I believe there is an alternative way of doing that. My question is: If there is someone knowing a new way of doing that job, PLEASE HELP ME !!!
    I'd be very grateful.
    I have been trying via Excel without success, but I go on believing there is a solution. THANKS !

    For dbase import,
    cant you add the DBASE ODBC driver
    then import via ODBC database,
    then pick DBASE driver,
    import?

    It's my understanding that Microsoft completely removed support for dBase with Office 2013. That's why I imported my legacy dBase tables to Access 2010 db.
