You can use ODBC Connection to Connect the BDE database. You will need 
the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to update dBase files. 
Connecting to a Paradox database (ODBC):
    "driver={Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db )};" & _
    "driverid=538;fil=Paradox 5.X;" & _
    "defaultdir=c:\foldername\;" & _
    "dbq=c:\foldername\;collatingsequence=ASCII"
The extra space character after *.db in the driver name is necessary.
You will need the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to update Paradox ISAM 
files.
