help please
We have security software that outputs paradox format files. I want to
create a linked table to one of these files from Access but I keep getting
the 'External data not in expected format' error. since the paradox file is
output by software other than paradox itself, I do not what version of
paradox it corresponds to. I am using Access 2007 on Vista business Edition.
any suggestions? any code to forcebly make the link. I thought I might be
missing a dll but in External data I have paradox as an option so that cannot
be it. Thanks for any help
 
I'm not familiar with the intricacies of different Paradox versions, but you
may be able to create an ODBC DSN (Administrative Tools -> Data Sources) to
the Paradox file, then creating the link in Access as an ODBC link.
