Paradox 7 to Access

[KOHP121]

Greetings all.
I am trying to convert portions of an approximately 2000 name db from Paradox 7 to Access 2000. Paradox 7 is from 1995 , and I really don't know if Accesss2000 will be able to read the Paradox formats, let alone have Paradox convert to an Access2000 format.

Help! I don't want to have to enter these enteries into an Access db by hand!!!

Hi KOHP121,

You should have no problem with this as long as you install the ISAM drivers. To see if you've got them installed already select from the menu File>> Get External Data>> Import - select the Files of Type combo box, if Paradox (*.db) is listed then you're ok. Access will import the Paradox tables you select.

If it's not listed, you will need to run Setup again for either Access or Office 2000. I can't remember exactly where the Drivers can be found. Just explore the CD and install anything you see to do with Paradox.
