Hi All,
I need to read a Paradox 7.x Table by a MS Access/VisualBasic code or by DOS/bat code and than sand the output to a flat file.

I only have Paradox 3.x and 4.x driver for Access.

Do I need to buy a driver only to read a table ?

Thank in advance for you help.

If you need to have full access to the table but want to mantain it in Pdox 7 format, you should buy a better driver; i remember the MERANT odbc driver being functional.

If you need a one time conversion, i can help you: if you can send me the data i'll convert it to CSV format or what you want and send it back to you.

Bye!

Hi Shore,
thanks a lot.

At the moment we have a Data Direct Paradox ODBC so we can read and write any paradox table from our application or MS Access.

PS: I've studied at Bologna for 5 years, Telco Eng.

If you already have the Merant Data Direct, it should run flawlessly even with V7 tables, you can try to upgrade it to the latest version.

P.s.: It's ShoreS with the final s , and i love Bologna! :)

Hi Shores,
sorry for the last "S". I'm very bud with names.

That ODBC driver was for my customer. I think that the last month they bouth the ODBC. The last version I think. Everything works fine.

Say goodbye to Bologna by me. :(
