   FYI switching from Paradox 5.0 to Paradox 7.0 does NOT automatically update   
   the table levels. It is perfectly possibly to be running Paradox 7 but still   
   using Paradox 5 tables. You can in fact have a mix of tables with several   
   different versions in one Paradox database. I think this is different from   
   example MS Access where you probably update the whole database when you open   
   and save it in a later version

   That is correct BUT it my testing shows that it IS possible to read also   
   level 7 tables. However performance is very bad, so this is probably your   
   issue.

   The general idea is that the Merant driver is better, but have in mind that   
   most of us here doesn't use ODBC to access our Paradox tables.

   You should be able to see which level the table has.
