Check that the MS-Access dBASE Driver is installed. If it isn't download the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable. Next start the ODBC administrator tool odbcad32.exe and add a Data Source. Make sure to select the directory that contains your DBF file. In the screenshot below I've set up a connection to the dbfiles in a directory d:\qvdata\temp.

In the script you then connect using the ODBC data source you just made and then load the data:

ODBC CONNECT TO [Access - dbf];

select * from fox_samp;
