    editing data warning

    I would like to trap editing a record with previously entered data and ask if they want to edit the data, but allow data entry of a null field without this step. This is an attempt to prevent erronious data entry by borded keypunch operators whom are entering data without looking at the screen...

    dynamic queries

    Here is some code I came up with that I attached to a pushbutton to run a query of last months data. Note a little funny business to get the start of a day at 7:00 am instead of 12:01 am with the time however you should get the idea from the date handling. The basic idea came from The DB...

    Automated Data Entry

    Common idapi32.CFG file

    With help from Lance, I was able to set up a common idapi32.CFG on our server, and this has worked well for the paradox alias's however I have a few ODBC connections and when I set up these on a new PC I end up with multiple ODBC database entries in the BDE which causes problems. Does anyone...

    idapi32.CFG

    I recall reading that you could put idapi32.CFG on a network server so all the workstations would draw their alias paths from the same file, however I have been unable to locate where I can change the path to idapi32.CFG in the BDE. Does anyone recall how this can be done? Paradox 10, windows...

    audit trail

    I have a request to document the updates to a database. Perhaps a dialog box asking for user name and reason for changing the data, saving this to a text file along with previous field value and current field value? Has anyone programed anything like this? Thanks in advance.

    An Update for anyone else who has this problem: Novell Client 4.83 has a bug which miss reports the PDOXUSRS.NET file as being locked and causes the initialization error. It is frustrating because you can see and modify this file from explorer but the BDE initialization fails. ( And I had...
