With the BDE Administrator open, click the "Configuration" tab, and on the treeview on the left, open Configuration if it's closed, open "Drivers", open "Native", click on "DBASE". On the right, see "LEVEL"? Click where it says "7" and change it to "5". Press Ctrl+A to apply changes and close the BDE Administrator. Start dBASE ... dBASE tables by default will be level 7 tables now.
