Cannnot Load driver message

[albertross]

When trying to access an sql database from Paradox 5, getting an error "cannot Load database - alias 'xxxxx'.
This works on many PC's but some of our newer ones get this error. Are we missing loading something on the new ones ? sql is version 7.0

albertross,

I presume you mean Microsoft SQL Server 7? If so, it sounds like you need the SQL Server SQL Link for BDE installed *or* the ODBC driver, depending on the driver you've used to create the alias to your SQL Server.

You'll probably need to re-install BDE from your original Paradox 5 installation disks. If memory serves, the SQL Links were a separate purchase, so there may be another set of install disks that you need to use.

Hope this helps...
