Paradox Data

[sopomeres]

I'm trying to use Crystal Reports 8.5 against a Paradox db. Any idea on how I can set up this data connection? I've already tried the drivers that come from Microsoft and they didn't seem to work. Is there another driver I could try? Are Paradox dbs just not ODBC friendly?

Any idea would help!

Thanks.

Are you trying to connect from Crystal, Excel, Access?

From Crystal Reports 8.5.

...A dirty way might be to use Access to link to your Paradox tables, ...then connect to those links from Crystal.


I have found that the ODBC driver for Access to Paradox works, but Excel to Paradox does not.

So this is the approch that I use to get around that problem.
