I need to access a Paradox 9 database using Visual Basic 6. I can't make it work and the only references to Paradox in Visual Basic 6 I can find are to versions 3x, 4x, and 5x. Any help would be appreciated.
 
In most cases, the 5x drivers should work.  In Paradox, most tables take on the lowest level compatable with their structure, i.e. unless the table needs features which were introduced in the later versions.  If you have Paradox, then load up the table in TUTILITY and it will tell you the version (level) table.  Come to think of it, in my VB2 days, you had to tell VB that the table was EXTERNAL, and I think entries were required in the INI file (now, presumably, the registry).
