connecting through ODBC

[Mard]

Hi,

I've recently been given paradox 8 and been asked to connect it to the web. When I use the following connection string:

oConn.Open "driver=Microsoft Paradox Driver(*.db);Dbq=d:\metro\data;defaultdir=d:\metro\data;DriverID=538;FIL=Paradox5.X;CollatingSequence=ASCII;"

I get the error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified


I've tried connecting to SQL Server and Access using their connection strings and it works fine.

Can anyone help?

I couldn't get my ASP script to work reliably with MS's ODBC driver, I installed BDE and used Interbase's instead. DSN-less connections were a pain too, I had to set up a System DSN and connect to that.
