SYMPTOMS
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
CAUSEMicrosoft AccessIf you receive the error message "Couldn't open file 'filename'" when you try to open an attached Paradox table while you are in Microsoft Access, you may have two PARADOX.NET files. In this case, Microsoft Access may be using one PARADOX.NET file while Paradox is using the other.Another possible cause is the absence of a user name in the ParadoxUserName entry in the [Paradox ISAM] section in your MSACC20.INI file (or MSACCESS.INI file in version 1.x). See REFERENCES below for more information. There are other conditions that can cause this error message as well. For more information, search the Help Index for "Error Messages." ParadoxIf you receive an error message similar to
when you attempt to open a table while you are in Paradox, the cause is the same as above: there are two PARADOX.NET files, with Microsoft Access using one and Paradox using the other. RESOLUTION
When you attach a Paradox table (<filename>.DB) in Microsoft Access, file
locking information is maintained by PARADOX.NET, the Paradox network
control file. Paradox requires this file in network environments, but it
is also used in stand-alone configurations.
Paradox also installs a PARADOX.NET file during normal installation. By default it is located in the Paradox program directory. The location of this file is determined by the network administrator during a network installation. To redirect Microsoft Access to the location of the PARADOX.NET file that Paradox installed, edit the MSACC20.INI file in any text editor, such as Notepad, and change the path. Do not include the name of the file. To change the Paradox configuration to point to the Microsoft Access PARADOX.NET file, run the NUPDATE.EXE utility. Refer to the Paradox "Network Administrator's Guide" for more information on this topic.
