Converting Paradox to Access Table

[Lanie]

I may be developing my first Access db outside of work. I understand that the data is in Paradox (don't have a clue about it). Can I easily convert Parodox to Access table without a lot of heartach? <br>
<br>
I live in Florida, is there a standard fee to charge? <p>Lanie<br><a href=mailto:etroidl@conaxfl.com>etroidl@conaxfl.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

There is an option for Paradox under File/Get External Data/Import/Files of type.

I am working with Access 97. There is no option for Paradox unless it would be ODBC Databases. Would that be it?

 

[elizabeth]

It's available for Access97, but maybe you didn't get it on your default install. See instructions for this in your Access Help: look in the index under &quot;Importing Data/Data Formats&quot;.

 

[Lanie]

Thank you for your help. I have been able to locate and install it. <br>
<br>
Next question if you don't mind. I will be using Access 97 to develop for a machine running Access Db from MS Office Profession 2000. Is this possible or will I need to upgrade Access to 2000?

 

[elizabeth]

It is possible, because Access 2000 recognizes the older versions. But it increases the size of the db and decreases efficiency somewhat when you open a 97 version with 2000. But is it a good idea...?

Sound like it may not be a good idea. <br>

I will be interviewing the potential client Thursday. I will be examing his current situation to determine his record count. I was thinking I would grab the data to a zip drive and develop it at home on MSA97, making it an MDE and giving it to him in this manner. <br>
<br>
Sounds simple and uncomplicated, but you know how that goes...thank you for all your help...hope I can help you out at some point....
