Default Reading dbf files

Hi:
In Excel 2003 in Spanish version, when I open a file with "dbf"
extension, Excel assigns by default a name to the range which is "Base de
Datos". When I try to select this name, a message appears saying there´s an
error with the name. Investigating, I saw that the range names must not have
blank apaces between the words, so the default name must be "Base_de_Datos"
I think this is a bug in the Spanish version of Excel. In the Portuguese
version the default name is "Banco_de_dados".
I use dbf files in Excel to work with Pivot Tables.

Any suggestions

Thanks in advance
