Re: data from Paradox to Excel

Dear Kev:

Since you are probably using an ODBC drive that was probably written
over 8 to 10 years ago, And since there isn't a 32bit equivalent unless
you upgrade to the current version of the Paradox, that you would be
hard pressed to find a better work-around for this. The reason that is
doesn't work is that it is not compatible with XPpro, and with the added
security features that the ODBC driver doesn't that into account, this
is why it is limiting your ability to run it correctly.

Hopefully, that will help you understand why it is not working.

Conversation: data from Paradox to Excel
Subject: data from Paradox to Excel

Can Excel (Office 2003) load Paradox 4x data in an XPpro environment?
Data
queries set up using Excel (Office 97) in Win98 and Win95 have always
worked
fine but those same queries don't run on an XPpro machine. Nor can
queries
be created using the same settings even though Excel 2003 provides
Paradox 4X
ODBC drivers.
Does this mean that XPpro cannot handle DOS based Paradox data? Any
help
will be very much appreciated. Kevin
