Yep, from someone who has :-)  Well, Im probably not technically correct,
but if you:
* Install MSAccess
* Install Paradox drivers from the "Value Pack" (on the CD) - I think this
does install an ODBC driver even tho we dont use it directly (hence my "not
technically correct")
* Attach the Paradox tables to an Access database.

You can use the COM extensions to talk directly to the Jet API, which in
turn will manage the paradox tables.  I find the COM Jet interface far
better than ODBC.

Mark.
