I have just been given a request to write an ASP to access a Paradox
Database that resides on one of our servers using an ODBC.  I do not
like ODBCs but the vendor that sold the company this software says it is
the only way to get at it.  I have coded connect strings for Access,
AS400  and SQL Server but never Paradox.  Can someone give me the
example of a connect string for a Paradox database on lets say 
 
g:/network1/winspec/data/database.xxx
 
Thanks much 

a) You can create a File DSN using the ODBC control panel. Open the file DSN
using Notepad, and you will have a connection string

    -OR-

b) Use this site:
