I have recently upgraded to Paradox 10 when I attemted to use a form using Paradox 9 I get an error message "Invalid File Access". The form is not delivered. I have always been able to use forms with previous versions as long as they were not in the delivered format.

I am having the same problem under Windows 2000 (with SR2 & all updates) with Paradox 10.
Whenever I try to Open a form in Paradox 9, that was created with Paradox 10, I get the "invalid file access" message. Due to your posting, I verified that I CAN open the form in Design mode, but even if I save it again under a new name, I still get the message when I open the new form in Paradox 9. I also get the message when I try to change records forward of back. I can not use the form at all.

I have tested Merge with WordPerfect 2000 & 2002 (you have to use
your Paradox data somewhere, and somewhere is often merge
mailings), and have confirmed a data access problem with 2002.
If Paradox 10 is open when trying to access the Paradox data (GoToData
button etc. in WordPerfect 2002), then you get a "Wordperfect - can not
load driver" error message. Close Paradox and the problem
disappears. This situation does NOT happen with WordPerfect Office
2000/Version 9 software as you can have Paradox 9 running while doing
a MERGE (work with the database while testing).
The Merge dialog is much nicer in 2002, and easier to use. I have since
reinstalled my WPO2000 as it was a little premature to uninstall it. I am
using WPO2002 though whenever possible as the interface is tweeked
up a bit nicer. I am putting this problem down to an early adoption
headache that will hopefully fixed soon.
