How to connect to an xBase DBF table that has a filename > 8 characters

$

When I connect to a DBF named "Sample_Labels.dbf" I get an error "Word was unable to open the data source" however if I rename the same file from "Sample_Labels.dbf" to just "Labels.dbf" then Word connects just fine. I am trying to write a program in C# that automates a mail merge however I cannot get word to connect to a DBF that has an underscore in the name even when I do it manually.
