Paradox settings                dBASE settings                ODBC settings

Use the Drivers settings to modify the settings that the BDE uses to determine how an application creates, sorts, and handles tables.

To display these settings:

1.Click the Configuration tab in the left pane and expand Configuration in the settings tree.

2.Expand Drivers in the tree. A list of all installed database drivers appears, split into Native and ODBC branches.

3.Choose the driver name in the tree.
The settings appear on the Definition tab in the right pane.

STANDARD drivers are Paradox, dBASE, FoxPro and ASCII text. A Driver for Microsoft Access is also included. Other drivers are installed separately.

To modify a setting, select the driver name and highlight a desired configuration parameter. Delete the old value and enter a new one in the appropriate text box. You can only modify parameters WITHOUT bold labels. When edits are complete, choose Object|Apply or click the Apply button to save the changes.

You can choose Object|New to add a new ODBC driver. Other commands on the Object menu let you administer and remove ODBC drivers.
