How to open DOS version of Paradox file

[darwin101]

Hi All.
I was given an old paradox '.db' file and asked to gather the information in it. We think it is from a DOS version of Paradox, will a Windows version of Paradox open this file?

Or any other suggestions you might feel helpfull would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paradox should open it with no problem, but it may prompt you to convert it. Doing this will not cause the loss of data, but it may no longer be compatible with it's original DOS parent. Remember that Paradox is a relational database and there may be linked tables. By looking at the data you should be able to determine which tables are which in the parent/child/lookup relationship.
