I just heard from our CIO that there is a old Paradox system that they would like to export some data to Excel. She's not able to connect to the Paradox tables via a vendor supplied ODBC connection. It might be a version issue or perhaps she doesn't have all of the data tables properly downloaded.
Has anyone used a Paradox Data Viewer to export the data that they can recommend? Thank you, ahead of time.

I’ve never used it (or Paradox, for that matter!), but it’s worth a shot if your other options don’t work out.

Thanks Ed. I'll check it out. I think it's been over 30 years since I've done Paradox?!?

I remember looking at Paradox in the late 80s, and I never quite *got* it. It's interesting the way one tools feels right and another just doesn't.
