SUMMARY
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
MORE INFORMATIONIf you link (attach) a Paradox version 3.0 or 3.5 table, it is best to have a key field defined in the table. Paradox creates an index (.PX) file that should always be in the same folder (directory) as the table (.DB) file. Important information is stored in the .PX file. Linking nonkeyed Paradox tables limits the report and query capabilities of Microsoft Access. Query LimitationYou can create a non-updatable query based on a nonkeyed Paradox table. However, you can add the table to the query only one time. If you add the table twice, you will receive the error message mentioned earlier when you run the query.Report LimitationYou cannot use or design a Microsoft Access report based on a query to which a nonkeyed Paradox table has been added twice.When you create a new report and select the query to base the report on, you will receive the error message mentioned earlier. Choose the OK button to close the error dialog box and view the report in Design view. If you look at the Field List for the report, you will not see any fields listed. The above limitations occur because linked, nonkeyed Paradox tables can only be opened once in Microsoft Access. Use of the table in both of these scenarios requires the table to be opened more than once in order to perform the specific Microsoft Access task. Paradox is manufactured by Borland International, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
