Hi,
i use "Delphi 6.0" , "DBISAM VCL-TRIAL - Version 4.32 Build 1" , Paradox 4.0 databse (Person.DB).
How Can i connect to paradox 4.0 database (person.DB) with DBisam Componet and show records to a DBGrid?
if you can, please leave a small example.
Thanks.

You can't they're totally different things. What you can do is convert the tables and then access them in DBISAM. Its so long ago that I moved to DBISAM (I'm now on ElevateDB) that I can't remember how it was done. There should be a BDE Database Transfer Utility - in the utilities directory I think - which will do the job and is easy to use

Sorry I stop using Paradox & the BDE so long ago. I can suggest three things:

a) have a look in database desktop and see if there's an option in there for export
b) open the table in Delphi and write the data into a stringlist and save that
c) have a look on Torry.net - lots of useful stuff there
