We are getting the following error when importing a .csv file into Paradox:

ErrorCode1:peIXPDbOpen
Errormessage1:Unable to open database

Does anyone know why this error is occuring ?

 
Is this in ObjectPal? - if so please post the line of code doing the import. Also, can you import successfully interactively (i.e. through the menu)?

There is a problem interactively importing .csv files in Paradox 8 but that gives a different error - renaming .csv file extension to .txt works around that particular problem.
 
Stupid trick: Try changing the extension to .txt. Sometimes it works. Don't ask. Paradox is finniky that way.
