    Question on Paradox 8 .vs. Access Queries

    You are comparing DOS-based Paradox PAL scripts to windows-based Access graphical scripts? Sorry, I don't have Paradox for DOS any longer to help with that one. One thing that will help people trying to help you would be examples of each (better the actual ones that are succeeding and the one...

    Paradox opens on single click

    In the 'mouse' settings in control panel? Although I'll admit I don't actually understand your question. Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of our lives. It's about priorities.

    Blank fields

    For 'recalldate', instead of typing the date in use a declared var, stRcDate. As well, declare stDob as a string and assign it a value of the dob field in the query. var stDob, stRcDate string endvar stRcDate="../03/09" stDob="<=today-(16*365)" Instead of 'check', please use...

    Blank fields

    I'm sorry. The situation is getting less understandable rather than more understandable. I'm afraid I understand neither the problem nor the solution sought. Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of our lives. It's about priorities.

    Blank fields

    Are you doing a check, or a checkPlus? Checkplus will get all records regardless of whether there are multiple of the same values for a particular field. Check will only retrieve the first instance of any given record where any field's value is the same. I may be misunderstanding the...

    Using additional characters in tables

    Updated? NO, not likely ever again. It doesn't do Unicode, but it DOES do this flavor of German so it isn't dead for this user. Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of our lives. It's about priorities.

    Converting Paradox DOS to Windows

    Well, here we go but only a small bit tonight. Looooong day today and early one tomorrow.

    Converting Paradox DOS to Windows

    scripts beginrecord is **recording** a script from onscreen actions. I was seeing it as record as in a record in a table. Everything below that is the actions that were recorded. The scripts | open is just a script stored on disk that you can open/modify while open, as well as 'run'. The...

    Converting Paradox DOS to Windows

    Well, I haven't used Paradox for DOS in a long time, so give me some leeway. BeginRecord - is that 'move to the first record'? If so, home() MAY be somewhat close. What EXACTLY is the situation, and what EXACTLY are you trying to do? Editor? There is no editor, as such, in Paradox for...

    Using additional characters in tables

    OK. Yes, knew about unicode, and thought to ask, but couldn't remember what it was called (unicode) so that I could ask you whether that might be a unicode character. And, unfortunately, there is literally no chance Paradox will ever be updated to use unicode. Tony McGuire "It's not about...

    Using additional characters in tables

    Well, sorry. I don't have any help for you. I don't use anything but standard English (American) stuff, and don't know about characters in the range above the usual American alphabet. I wouldn't normally, but since no one is answering on this I'll ask if you've tried www.thedbcommunity.com...

    Using additional characters in tables

    What language driver does that character come from? Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of our lives. It's about priorities.

    Paradox 7 Using the table repair

    You might want to look into ChimneySweep. It isn't free, although I'm not sure whether they have a time or # runs versions you can test with. Besides being more complete than other tools, it automates much of the testing with reports so you know what needs to be manually fixed. Tony McGuire...

    How difficult would it be...

    There is no way to know, really, without contacting the developer or jumping into a LOT of questions. Can you not ask the developer? Do you have the 'source' programming/screen/print files (.rsl, .fsl, .ssl, .lsl) or only the 'delivered' versions of those files (.rdl, .fdl, .sdl, .ldl)? Does...

    Paradox 10 on XP-Pro

    One issue we didn't address was setting the netdir location to the root of c: (c:\) or the root of ANY drive. You mustn't ever do that. With it set to c:\, XP probably (almost certainly) won't allow you to operate Paradox; or if it does Paradox may show really strange behaviour. This is...

    Paradox 10 on XP-Pro

    Look for pdoxusrs.lck and paradox.lck files and nuke them. Probably in the NEW data directory. As well, you may need to nuke the same files in the :priv: directory. These are files in those directories on the NEW SYSTEM. Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of...

    Paradox 10 on XP-Pro

    If running multiple instances of Paradox, the NetDir setting in the bde for both computers must be set to EXACTLY the same path; not just the same 'resolves to' path. So, if one computer has c:\\pdox shared as x: on one box, you must share that drive/directory as a drive and use that drive...

    Can you put a calculated field into a table?

    Well, I should have written 'calculated fields directly inside the table", since you can, as you wrote, do it as part of the form. Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of our lives. It's about priorities.

    Can you put a calculated field into a table?

    No. Paradox does not support calculated fields. Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of our lives. It's about priorities.

    IIF STATEMENT WON'T WORK

    What is the '=' at the beginning? Shouldn't be there, I don't believe. Tony McGuire "It's not about having enough time; we have the rest of our lives. It's about priorities.
