Connecting crdb_p2bbde.dll to Crystal Rpts v10

[jjagoe]

Our company just upgraded to Crystal Rpts v10 and I need to connect to a Paradox database. Crystal's online help saids to connect BDE paradox driver crdb_p2bbde.dll using a 3rd party software. Has anyone done this, thanks in advance.

I'm having a similar issue. Back in March I upgraded some obscure CR8.5 reports that utilize both dBase and Paradox tables to CR10. No problem.

Yesterday I revisit these reports, and I repeatedly encounter "cannot load crdb_p2bbde.dll" errors. The dll is right where its supposed to be, in \Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\bin, where it has always been.

Where on Crystal's site did you see something that recommended a "third party software"?

Hi,
I don't know if this will help but we had a similar problem with the advantage database and crdb_p2sads.dll, the problem was there was a file missing in the windows/system32 folder (Msvcp60.dll). Depending on your operating system this one may not get installed.

Hope this helps..
Daryl..
