Connecting to Paradox

Hello,
I am trying to connect to paradox database for the purpose of updating
the record(s) in DTS ActiveX Script Task.
I used the following connection string. But I get an error while
connection. I have "UMTest.db" and "UMTest.px" files in the
"C:\MYDBPath" in my local drive.
Set objRs =3D CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet"=AD)
DB_STRING =3D "Provider=3DMicrosoft.Jet.OLEDB.=AD4.0;Data
Source=3DC:\MYDBPath;Extended Properties=3DParadox 5.x;"
strSQL =3D " UPDATE UMTest SET Field1 =3D 1.222 WHERE Col1ID =3D '" & Value1
& "' AND Col2 =3D '" & Value2 & "'"
objRs.Open strSQL, DB_STRING
I get the following error.
Error Source: Microsoft Jet Database engine.
Error Description: No Value given for one or more required parameters.
Connection string looks alright to me. I don't know what is other
reason which is causing this error to happen.=20
Thanks.
You may try to create a User DSN first using ODBC Administrator. Instead of
DB_STRING="..", you can set DB_STRING=UserDSNNameYouCreated. To simplify it,
please do not include update command. Try to connect it first and see if it
works.
Thanks

Connecting crdb_p2bbde.dll to Crystal Rpts v10

Our company just upgraded to Crystal Rpts v10 and I need to connect to a Paradox database. Crystal's online help saids to connect BDE paradox driver crdb_p2bbde.dll using a 3rd party software. Has anyone done this, thanks in advance.I'm having a similar issue. Back in March I upgraded some obscure CR8.5 reports that utilize both dBase and Paradox tables to CR10. No problem.

Yesterday I revisit these reports, and I repeatedly encounter "cannot load crdb_p2bbde.dll" errors. The dll is right where its supposed to be, in \Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\bin, where it has always been.

Where on Crystal's site did you see something that recommended a "third party software"?|||Hi,
I don't know if this will help but we had a similar problem with the advantage database and crdb_p2sads.dll, the problem was there was a file missing in the windows/system32 folder (Msvcp60.dll). Depending on your operating system this one may not get installed.

Hope this helps..
Daryl..
