    Hi Folks

    Is it possible to access a Paradox table through Query Analyzer, can OpenRowSource be used this way? 

    Any thoughts ?

     Thanks

    Check out this link: http://www.connectionstrings.com/

    It has a Paradox section and 'stuff' that relates to Access and .NET. So I'd guess you could convert that information into an Openquery. Unfortunately I do not have Paradox to test it with.

    Figured it out

    SELECT *

    FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

    'paradox 5.x;database=C:\Trax\COM\private\scratch\', carriers)

    Where the paradox 9 file is at this path C:\Trax\COM\private\scratch\carriers.db

    NOTE: I always heard it was not safe to write using MS driver. No idea if its true.

    Only Tested under SQL 2000.

    This below also worked

    SELECT *

    FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

    'paradox 7.x;database=C:\Trax\COM\private\scratch\', carriers)

    This linked and above post helped
