Access to databases

[cacomputerguy]

I've tried to open a Paradox database through the Visual Data Manager and I get an Error 3170 "Couldn't find the installable ISAM". I have VB6 Pro. Is there something else I need to load? Also when I try to compile the statement
"Dim dbTest As Database"
the compiler says the user-defined type is not defined. Again, is there something else I should load? Thanks for ANY answers.

for the ISAM driver -- run setup, choose add/remove, and go to the data access section (or equivalent) and make sure the ISAM drivers are selected....

user defined type problem -- check that the ADO/RDO/DAO library(s) are selected in your references list (whichever access method you are using)
