I've never really setup or used MS SQL Server (just a couple hours, one
day, several months ago). I think MS SQL Server has the ability to use
"linked tables", like MS Access does. Is this correct? What I want to
do is have an MS SQL Server setup, which compatible applications can
talk with, but I want the data to come from a Paradox database. I can
use any MS SQL version, whatever would work best. I'm not sure about
the Paradox version, I know it is an old DOS version. I can't just
convert the data to another format, because Paradox still needs to use
it.

I tried using MS Access before, with ODBC drivers it *should* be able
to work with the Paradox data. However, I ended up with lots of data
corruption. I'm hoping MS SQL Server may work better, and not corrupt
the Paradox data everytime it is updated.
