Hi DGS
It would help if you didn't expect us to guess what error message you're
seeing. Many import problems are fixed as follows:
If the import/export wizards don't work at all, re-register ACCWIZ.DLL
If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl35.dll (Excel)
msxbse35.dll (dBase)
mspdox35.dll (Paradox)
mstext35.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 2000 and later, the filenames contain 40 instead of 35.
To re-register a DLL file,
1) Locate it (usually all these are in the Windows\System32 or
WINNT\System32 folder.
2) Locate the file regsvr32.exe.
3) Drag the DLL file's icon onto the regsvr32.exe icon.
These problems are discussed in the following MS Knowledgebase articles
among others:

or for Access 2002

Hi, I used to be able to import Paradox database files
into my access files in Access 2000 and then later in
Access 2002. I currently have Access 2002 and started
getting an error message. Any ideas as to the cause of
the error message and what is blocking the import?
