    Set field = NULL

    It sounds like you have the field indexed, which may be the cause of the slow response (multiple things happening per row updated). A standard procedure is to remove indices, apply update, and re-impose indices. hth Mike

    Full text search in docs in a table possible?

    If you are running v2000 or later, and if the text is actually within the tables, in the correct field types (see manual or online help) then you can use SQL Server for full text searching. However, if the items are held in binary form (eg as .pdf files within a binary BLOb) or held outside...

    Installing Paradox on Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server

    Where is your Paradox Net directory for each client ? Look at the Paradox FAQ on Net Rules and also the one on Operating Systems (treat your 2003 server as though it was a 2000 or Win NT system). Mike FAQs & TIPs: http://mirwin.homestead.com/Paradox.html

    Password field question

    Do you have some other field covering the field you're trying to click onto ? In design mode, select it and then use the format menu to Bring To Front (or Top). Run it again to see if that fixes things ...

    Rebuilding tables

    As Lewy has pointed out, there's lots of Help on the table.restructure() method. However, I would give very serious thought to the desirability of doing this "on the fly". What are your reasons for doing this ? What are the risks ? What are the hoped-for benefits ? I would suggest that...

    Querying a Paradox Database with ADO

    SELECT * FROM ACTIVITY WHERE ACTV_BEGIN_DATE = #27-Aug-2003# have you tried something like SELECT * FROM ACTIVITY WHERE ACTV_BEGIN_DATE = &quot;08/27/2003&quot; which is a more normal date format ?

    index and lock errors

    ...? Z:\DBS\WOFFMEM\PDOXUSRS.LCK Z:\DBS\WOFFMEM\PARADOX.LCK should be what you have. Normally, you should get all users to log off, delete all pdox*.lck files on Z:, and resetart using just one copy of Paradox to check things out. If you still get an &quot;index out of date&quot; error, then...

    Using Paradox to control other windows programs

    <<The sendkeys function seems to be restricted to an application that was started by the Paradox Execute command which won't be the case for the dialog popup. >> not so, actually. Just the program with focus, as it just stuffs the keyboard buffer. Use enumWindowNames() and enumWindowHandles()...

    Appending a table that is in use.

    &quot;append a live table&quot;. I believe what you mean is &quot;to append records to a table in use by someone [else]&quot;. Assuming that ... Assume that your tables have a single-field primary key called, for our purposes, &quot;PK&quot; var tcMyNewData tCursor tcLiveTable...

    GP Error Following CTRL SPACE

    Known bug. Recommended Solution: upgrade. Alternative: Code around the problem. Look at the example of code to use on the form that invokes the lookup at http://mirwin.homestead.com/files/tips/DIYLookups.html I haven't shown an example of the lookup form itself (called luVendor.fsl in that...

    Using 2 Alternative Parameters ?

    Many thanks everyone - I got it to work fine ! One interesting thing: the first time I did it I put the {table.id} = Switch({?Parameter Type} = 'ID',{?Parameter Value}) Or {table.name} = Switch({?Parameter Type} = 'Name',{?Parameter Value}) into the Report | Select Expert | Show Formula...

    Using 2 Alternative Parameters ?

    I'm using CR 9.2.0.448 based on MS SQL Server 2000. My company is a REIT, dealing with malls. We identify a property either by number or by name - both varchar fields. I can create parameter inputs for either one, but some users want one method (by name) and some the other (by number). Can I...

    Paradox 5 and Novell

    One last possibility: check that your workstations have the latest Novell client software installations - from Novell, not MS ! If it still doesn't work, and if you _are_ using compatibilty on the XP machines, and if there is only a small amount of disk available (5 GB may well cause any 16-bit...

    Paradox 5 and Novell

    ...The last time one of these was released was in early 1995, so it's REALLY time to upgrade. However, for now, things to look for are as follows: * you never said what OS you're using locally; if you are using Windows 2000 or XP then you MUST set up compatibility for Paradox (apcompat.exe on...

    Paradox 5 and Novell

    Hi Carsten, Firstly, don't panic - I've seen these before, and they're _usually_ (tho' not always) due to file system problems. Could you test things and answer these questions for me, please: 1. Log in as yourself (administrator group, I suppose) at your own workstation and create these...

    Paradox 5 and Novell

    ...r/w settings are unlimited, I've tried to rename the database folder and make a new one, restoring all files to the new folder, but I can't r/w *.db files at that drive. If I create a folder on my workstation, it works perfectly.&quot; Your first statement is flatly contradicted by your...

    running paradox on NT

    Having just read through the thread, I feel that I have to add this to what Lance the Footpad has said. I have developed in Paradox and Windows NT 4 and then Windows 2000 ever since Windows NT 4 came out. Aside from striving to use the latest version of Paradox, so as to minimise the shock of...
