Our company has always used Paradox 7, just upgraded to 9. But trying to import an Excel file into Paradox 9, it only allows 32 columns. Is there anyway to import more than 32?

A couple other questions: What happened to the "Refresh" button? And what happened to the right-click on the table, and you can choose import? Two great features that seem to have been deleted.

Thanks in advance.
 
Try highlighting all the columns that you want to import in the excel table and then save it. Then trying importing into Paradox. I have found that this will work in most cases.

As far as the missing features, I feel they are worthing keeping as well as the right click in reports to change a table for the report.
 
Tried highlighting all the columns and saving it, still didnt work. Its so weird that its not importing all of it.
 
In Excel select save as Dbf4 this can then be opened by Paradox.

Bystander
