Linking Paradox Table

[jhanai9]

I have an access dbase trying to link a paradox table. I have Office 2003 and BDE 5.01 was installed on my machine. When I try to link to a paradox table its giving me an error "Unexpected Error from xternal database driver (11265)". On the other hand, I have Office XP on my laptop and BDE 5.01 installed, I tried to link to a paradox table and it works. What can I do to link to a paradox table using Office 2003?

First guess is to re-install office. When you do, it gives you an option to change the options that are installed. You want to absolutely assure that the paradox database odbc stuff is installed on the machine in question.

If this doesn't fix it, you are looking at a version mis-match error that might require you to try to install Office XP on the Win2K3 machine.
