Paradox Direct Engine (ActiveX) is a useful utility for those who want to load and read the external Paradox tables into any MS Jet/ADO datasource.


No any external libraries for Paradox reading (no BDE, ODBC etc) - native, direct and fast record loading. Just specify the target MS Jet/ADO connection and records from Paradox table will be imported.

A lot of import modes supported:

imAppend: add records to the destination table
imUpdate: update record in destination with matching record from source
imAppendUpdate: if record exists in destination, update it. Otherwise, add it
imDelete: delete records in destination that match records in source
imCopy: delete all records in destination, repopulate from the source
imAppendNewOnly: add records to destination table if no matching record only
Also you may:

specify the custom mappings (define the correspondence between fields in destination and parsed fields in Paradox file)
create a new table in MS Jet/ADO datasource with same structure as parsed from Paradox
load data into destination table/view or editable query
