    psSendMail - HTML emails from Windows Vista

    Cheers Tony, I've downloaded the crooit stuff and will have a look at it. Meanwhile Dan from Prestwood is investigating the problem with their stuff for me. www.arenig.co.uk

    psSendMail - HTML emails from Windows Vista

    Prestwood's psSendMail seemed to be the perfect plug in to enable my paradox app to email. I'm sending HTML emails which work and look great so long as I'm using Windows XP. Try it on a Vista machine and it seems to send plain text - despite having the HTML flag set to True. Anyone else...

    Can I use my ObjectPal code with sql database?

    Hello Safirlaila I have done some work with this. I will itemise my thoughts for you. 1. I used a package called Full Convert to convert paradox to MS SQL Server. This worked a treat. http://www.spectralcore.com/fullconvert/index.php?app=fc-pro-mssql&trial=0&from=helpweb 2. I was using...

    Paradox 9 to Lotus Notes (6.5) MAPI

    Thanks for your answers Tony and Safirlaila. I already have no problem making it all work with Outlook express. But Lotus Notes is such a quirky package it's a wonder anything works with it. I tried mixing up the order of things as Tony suggested, and there's not much else to try. The...

    Paradox 9 to Lotus Notes (6.5) MAPI

    Hello, Yes, this old chestnut again. Using the following code : var m Mail endVar if m.logonDlg() then m.addAddress("martin@arenig.co.uk") m.setSubject("test email") m.send() m.logOff() endIf creates a lotus notes email ok, but it stuffs everything into the email's "to" box...

    link SQL to Paradox

    Hi, Firstly, check out this link. A bit dated now but pertinent enough http://www.thedbcommunity.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=210&Itemid=44 Seondly, I have just/am working on a SQL conversion, ie paradox front end, sql replacement for paradox back-end. Full COnvert is a...

    Paradox (v9) to SQL Server

    Thank you Tony, I wondered where everybody had gone.. Just so you know, switching over to SQL back-end will extend the life of my paradox system in the city of london by years. I love Paradox. www.arenig.co.uk

    Paradox (v9) to SQL Server

    Hi Perrin, Thanks for your reply. It's like a morgue in this forum nowadays. Anyway, have come a little further now. 1. Have written a paradox utility to create tables and then copy the data - bearing in mind all that you said above re no null keys etc. (I never use inbuilt RI) 2. I was...

    Paradox (v9) to SQL Server

    We're attempting to switch the back end of our large financial application over to SQL Server (2005). I'm just at the experiment stage. I have created a SQL table identical in structure to my paradox one. Yet when I attempt to attach a TCursor, I get either a GPF or Paradox closes instantly...

    Paradox 9 - 6 second delay for key presses

    Hi Tony, Well, would you adam and eve it? That did the trick. They've never bothered me before, but maybe one of the drivers got updated or something and spooked my machine out. Works just fine now. Thank you very much for your time. I notice that the number of posts to this forum have...

    Paradox 9 - 6 second delay for key presses

    Hi Tony, OS = XP Pro across the board. Yes, there are the odd printers that are listed as Unable to Connect, because these are the printers from a regular workplace network in London. They have never caused a problem before. Thanks www.arenig.co.uk

    Paradox 9 - 6 second delay for key presses

    This is a problem that has recurred. I have no idea what fixed it last time, it just went away. I have pdox 9 on a Dell laptop running on a home network via a broadband router. Pressing any key within paradox (except keypresses on forms weirdly), for instance Alt + F for File menu, results in...

    Focus is lost when returning from a child form

    Hi Tony, Because all the child forms/reports are run from a library via a button on each form, self.bringToTop()doesn't work. So on the form I added the following code after the call to the library has returned : f0.attach() f0.bringToTop() And it worked a treat. When it runs though, you...

    Focus is lost when returning from a child form

    I'll not be looking at the code again until Monday now. Can't use self.bringToTop() as it's called from a library. subject. probably though. Will give it a shot. Let you know if it works. Cheers Martin www.arenig.co.uk

    Focus is lost when returning from a child form

    I'm already in the WHO page. I don't need convincing that any number of people could pick up my work. Especially as I code in a minimalist style. I let tables drive all the business rules and I endeavour always to use a reduced set of objectPAL instructions. The reason being, a lot of the...

    Focus is lost when returning from a child form

    I *have* used Paradox as a web server and found it a joy. It worked faultlessly, and I used it to demonstrate the idea of broker statements and advice notes on-line. Unfortunately, the idea of being dependent on Paradox terrifies "them". The corporate strategy, and this is from something...

    Focus is lost when returning from a child form

    Hi Tony, Yes, Citrix. Webbifying paradox by the back door ! Most of the child form calling is channelled through a reporting module which uses the same generic bit of code. The child process can also be a report. The code to call the form is simply : fRun.open(strCommand) fRun.wait()...

    Focus is lost when returning from a child form

    When the user make selections that display something, e.g. a summary form, which is then closed, the application focus is returned to the application's main menu rather than the form from which the "something" was launched. WordPerfect Office - Paradox 9 System Details: Windows 2000 Server +...

    Disappearing records

    Table validation is performed as the record is posted/unlocked. To my knowledge, no validation is performed on opening a table. I would suspect a corrupted table here. I've seen some pretty bizarre behaviour from knackered tables. Try creating a query on said table with all the fields...
