ADO without ODBC

Can I use ADO to access other database such as Paradox without using the ODBC? If it is possible, please show me the source code on how to establish the connection directly using ADO to access Paradox. Thanks.

FYI - I've realise that ADO connection using ODBC is quite slow.

Code:

---

    Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
   
    Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
   
    'open connection to folder that contains DB files
    cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & App.Path & ";Extended Properties=Paradox 5.x"
   
    Set rs = New Recordset
   
    'open DB file as recordset -- my file is called CATEGORI.DB
    rs.Open "Select * from Categori", cn
   
    'show data
    Do Until rs.EOF = True
        Debug.Print rs.Fields(1).Value
        rs.MoveNext
    Loop
   
    'cleanup
    rs.Close
    cn.Close
   
    Set rs = Nothing
    Set cn = Nothing
