Need help converting from Paradox to Access

W

William Gower

I have files that end in .db, .px. y0? and x0?. The client requires me to
import them into access. I do not own any copy of Paradox. When I try to
open the .db file in Access I get the following message on several of the
files.

External table is not in expected format.

Any suggestions as to what I can do?

As a general rule you can't open dbase, or text files, or any other kind of
document in ms-access.

However...you can certainly as a general rule import data.

Not sure what version of ms-access you are talking about..but if you create
a blank mdb..you can then go:

file->get external data.

One of the options in the drop down list is paradox.......

I think the p0..and the other files are simply index files..or other stuff
that you don't need. The "db" file has the data you want....
