Old database system question.

[Adam Goetz]

For a possible update of an old system, I'm trying to work out how to
connect to a password protected Paradox database table. I've got a
connection string that works with the non-password protected files in the
same directory, but that one protected control file is critical.

Anybody know how to open up a passworded Paradox database file in C#?

Yes, I know the whole thing should be re-written using a better db, but I
don't expect the client to sign off on that this year.

Check if http://www.connectionstrings.com has any connection strings for
Paradox.

Oh, it does. But the only password example is for Paradox 7 files. And
these files are much older. As in they were probably originally Paradox 3.x
