Hello!

I'm trying to open a Paradox database ("Discos.db") in my VB application, but I got the following messages:

"Unexpected error from external driver"
or
"Isn't in the correct format"

I've tried ODBC and Jet access for versions 3.x, 4.x and 5.x, with no success.

My user says that the database version is 5.0, but I don't think so.

Does anyone know how do I access this file?

Thanks in advance,

Marcelo Piazza
