Mapx 属性数据文件用oledb方式访问的问题

mapx(mapinfo )的属性数据文件 .dat 文件，其结构是dbase 格式。
希望在程序中使用oledb方式进行直接访问，想不到不行。提示
ole/db   provider   returned   message:   microsoft   jet   数据库引擎找不到对象
但是如果把其扩展名改为.dbf ,就可以了。
这是怎么回事?

¤ Hey all, Was wondering if there is another parameter to pass along with the
¤ rest of the connection string to have Jet look for a dBase connection using

¤
¤ Here's my conn string for reference...
¤
¤ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & cDataPath & ";Extended
¤ Properties= dBASE IV;"
¤
¤ We just happen to use the extension .DAT for all of our database files.

I don't believe the driver will recognize the file with a different extension. There was a
workaround in DAO, by including the file and extension separated by #, but I don't believe that
works with Jet OLEDB and the ISAM driver. Haven't tried it using ODBC.

其中还有人说把oledb 的Provider 换成 vfp 的，试了一下，还是不行，换为另外一个错误，说什么“重复字段名”
。
还有一个。问题与我一样，也是mapx 的dat 文件。

有人提出要用txt driver .
