Great web site!
Can you help me with a problem. I am running Win NT 4.0 and trying to set up ODBC through the Control Panel. I have a Paradox 8.0 database that I want to access using Oracle tools, in particular Oracle Discoverer 3.1. My Oracle database is 8i, specifically 8.1.6.1 also known as Release 2.
The on-line help for Win NT is very limited regarding the ODBC features. I have consulted other books and web sites and I am more confused then before I started.
Here is where I get stuck:
I enter the Control Panel in Win NT and select the ODBC Data Sources icon. The multi-tabbed pop up appears. I select the User DSN tab and add a new data source with the driver being Microsoft Paradox Driver. I then hit the Configure button and notice that the drop box for database version says Paradox 5.X and I need version 8 of Paradox so I deselect the checkbox labeled 'Use Current Directory' and press the Select Directory button. Now I am lost. What do I want to point to, the executable database, the particular .dbf file I want or what?
Please point me to a web site that explains this step. I have spent many hours searching the web with no real success.
Thank you.
