Sorry for previous post...
I find the reasons of my problems,

Windows used uppercase letter and i must precise it in my connection:
odbcConnect("dBASE Files",case="toupper")

And it is ok for excel Files.
For dbf files, there is another problem: by default, the size of the 
column is set to 255 in the function sqlSave (V7 in data.frame 
newname). This seems to be too much and when i change this value 
(e.g. v7=40) the problem is solved.

Sincerely,
