Cannot open this Paradox 4.x or 5.x table because ParadoxNetStyle is set to 3.x in the Windows Registry. (Error 3419)

The Microsoft Jet database engine was unable to open an external Paradox table because of inconsistencies between the version of the table and your ParadoxNetStyle setting in the Microsoft« Windows« Registry.

  3. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
  4. Specify the value 4.x in the Value data box.
  5. The ParadoxNetStyle setting must be consistent for all users sharing a database.
  6. Restart your application.
  7. Try opening the table again.
