Hi,
We are using Paradox 9 dev. ed. on a W2K network. One of the forms has a notebook and three tabs on it. Each tab has a tableframe, and each tableframe is attached to a separate table. There is a problem with one tableframe; when a user tries to edit an existing record in this tableframe...
I agree totally, I guess I'm just trying to understand better how Paradox works. If I could re-write parts of the code in a different way to minimize table accesses, I might be able to improve performance in a number of places. Here's a perfect example where I thought there were no table...
I thought about that, but my application has many inter-related forms, which call each other, do rather involved calculations that affect multiple tables, etc. There's hardly a field in the whole application that doesn't have ObjectPAL behind it. Would this still be reasonable in terms of...
We've been doing exactly what you're describing in our application, for about 4 months now. We use it to track changes to customer purchase orders. It works great. One suggestion I have is that you use a drop down list for the REASON field if you can - making summaries or reports of the...

Make the expense and income calculated fields, then define them thusly:
income = sum(iif([Sales.total] > 0,[Sales.total],0))
expense = sum(iif([Sales.total] < 0,[Sales.total],0))

I'm growing concerned about security issues with my multi-user application. Users can double click through Windows Explorer and open files. Even worse, they can delete tables or the entire directory. I don't see any useful way to restrict permissions in Windows or use the table password...
Woody:
How about creating two secondary indices on the table, sorted first on BASE_ID and then on SEQUENCE_NO (ascending for one, descending for the other). Put the code in Page:open to apply the first secondary index to a tCursor, and then walk through the table with the tCursor and set the...
OK, I'm glad to know about that setting, and I put the code into my startup script, but...
This isn't an issue with a UIObject refreshing from the table in the absence of an event. Every time I re-run the form (by hitting ENTER in the master part number field), there's a newly declared...
I'm trying to run my Paradox application over a VPN from home. Paradox is installed on the local machine, but all forms, tables, scripts, and the launcher .exe are on the remote server at work.
I've noticed that many processes which I thought were basically local are very slow. BTW, this...
I have a multiuser inventory application on a Win2K server, NT/98 client network. I've noticed several times that if I change data in a table on one machine, it doesn't appear on another machine for some time (minutes or hours, or possibly until some specific action is taken).
In the most...
I finally figured this one out yesterday...
In Applications Framework, there is a configuration key in AppProp.db called "App Show Right Click Menu". This must be set to false, _AND_ the code described above must also be in place, to prevent the default popup menu.
You still get the...
footpad:
It took a while, but I've tried your suggestion and it doesn't appear to have any effect.
I found that I never get any events at the form level with isPrefilter = true. Also, even when I have a method defined for an event, I still get the event back at the form (later) with...
Does anyone know how to block the default right-click popup menus? It only happens in tableframes. We use right-click all over our application, e.g. to jump to other records via key values, and to open files by right-clicking on their filenames via OLE. We see our popup menu first, then the...
