Hello I´m complety newbie in paradox.
But this is very very important.
I´m insurance broker.
The software I use for manager my clients is made with paradox tables.
Last friday I lost one of tables, I just dont know how, someone delete it.
Fortunately I have one backup of that table, because I use 3rd party software for convert paradox into MySql.
I export data to CSV file, with all fields by the same order and separated by ";".

I install my insurance manager software in other folder with empty tables.

I try to use data structure from empty table, but I cant use.

I import all data to one new table, and make all structure by hand.
The problem is when I define datafields as DATE, paradox ask me to trim and loose all data from field.

If I dont trim paradox dont change structure of the field.

Thanks

Regards.

you can easily start over if you don't like the results.. OK the trim, look at the data.. it's just changing from a more exact date format..
