I need to be able to import read/write Dbase dbf tables - yes they are still around so why has the standard option that was in Access 2010 gone?
I have seen mention of ISAM, which is gobbledegook to me. So please a simple answer - what do I need to install or change and how do I do it?

You should also be aware that there are at least a couple of methods for implementing work-arounds for the problem in the meantime. Check this thread in detail for a couple of them.
Not perfect, but better than acting out in public.
