By the title, I assume this is a Paradox for DOS application. Unfortunately, there is no magic way to do this. Early on there were some tools to help automate the process, but they didn't work well (hardly at all).
The tables should convert to any Windows DBMS with little trouble. If you choose Paradox for Windows, then Paradox will be able to utilize the tables directly (no conversion).
As for your old Paradox for DOS scripts, forms, and reports, they must be converted one at a time to whatever front-end you choose (even in Paradox for Windows). We do these types of projects all the time, so let us know if you want help with it. Old UBB Archived Link: [URL=http://www.prestwood.com/outsourcing]Click here[/URL] for more info.
If you have lots of queries, there is a technique available for moving those to Paradox for Windows QBE files (the queries are fully compatible).

We are in the procees of doing this also, IT IS A MAJOR PAIN. That tables are fine and the forms are no big deal, but the script suck. Like Mike said you have to do them all one by one, I would however suggest Paradox 9, it seems to be able to do alot of stuf that the other don't do.
