Default Importing data

when attempting to import data on this machine in excel 2003 I get the error
"External table is not in the expected format". On all other machines in the
office it works fine. All machines are running excel 2003. I have noticed
that in browsing for the file, the icon for the file on this machine is a
magnifing glass with "DBF" on it, on the other machines the file icon is a
piece of paper with I guess a blue tablet/memo pad on it. The file is a
database base file created in "FoxPro". Has anyone else experienced this? and
found a solution?
