SYMPTOMSWhen you try to import a Paradox 7.x address list into Microsoft Direct Mail Manager, you receive the following error message:
Error (3274) - External table isn't in the expected format. This error occurred when attempting to open the address list file '<drive>:\<path>\<file name>'. Please check that (1) the file exists, (2) you have selected a file format supported by Direct Mail Manager, and (3) it is not locked or your access is otherwise restricted.When you click OK to close the error message, you can then select a different address list.
CAUSEThis functionality is by design. Microsoft Direct Mail Manager cannot import Paradox files other than version 5.x. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
