ODBC Driver for Paradox

oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db)};" & _
                  "DriverID=538;" & _
                  "Fil=Paradox 5.X;" & _
                  "DefaultDir=c:\dbpath\;" & _
                  "Dbq=c:\dbpath\;" & _
                  "CollatingSequence=ASCII;"

For the jet Engine use:

<----- Code Begin ----->

Sub OpenParadox(strDBPath As String)

   Dim cnnDB As ADODB.Connection
   Set cnnDB = New ADODB.Connection

'  Specify Paradox by using the Extended Properties
'  Paradox 3.x
'  Paradox 4.x
'  Paradox 5.x

   With cnnDB
      .Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
      .Properties("Extended Properties") = "Paradox 5.x"
      .Open strDBPath
      Debug.Print .ConnectionString
      .Close
   End With

   Set cnnDB = Nothing

End Sub

<----- Code Begin ----->
