I am trying to open Paradox .db tables in Excel 2000 and cannot find a way to do it.

Any ideas ?
 
Using ODBC, you may be able to get to the Paradox file with Excel (from the menu, select DATA | IMPORT EXTERNAL DATA | IMPORT DATA and choose OFFICE DATABASE CONNECTIONS as the TYPE). If that selection is not available, then you might have to reinstall Excel, to add the ODBC driver support. An alternative would be to export from Paradox to a third format, like DB4, which Excel 2000 would import more directly. Hope this helps.
