I'm trying to create a small windows app in vb.net to connect to a *.db database, be able to read/write back into it. But I'm experiencing a problem with reading it and hoping some of you already have a possible solution. I'm using VS2008 and using the Microsoft Paradox driver. Here is the connection string:

"Driver={Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db )};collatingsequence=ASCII;defaultdir=C:\temp;driverid=538;fil=Paradox 5.X;filedsn=C:\temp\filename.db.dsn;maxbuffersize=2048;maxscanrows=8;pagetimeout=5;paradoxnetpath=C:\WINDOWS\system32;paradoxnetstyle=4.x;paradoxusername=admin;safetransactions=0;threads=3;usercommitsync=Yes"

Any ideas? I don't know what this db was written in and I've tried various db readers off the net that claims to be able to open db files, but all couldn't open this one:confused::confused:
