Paradox 9/Runtime 9 & Windows XP

[HOTLIPS]

Hi
Can anyone tell me if Paradox 9 and Paradox Runtime 9 run OK on Windows XP?
We are moving to XP and wonder do we have to upgrade to Paradox 10

I use it with no problem. We have a number of workstations via a hybrid Netware/NT/Win2000 network environment and Paradox 9 is our primary database application software. If it runs here, it'll run anywhere. Your main issues will be be individual permissions settings on the XP workstations. Mac

Hi Hotlips,

I run Paradox 9 on XP and it works like a dream from the users perspective. I have an application that is currently used by as many as half a dozen concurrent users at a time with an ODBC link to mySQL tables on the

http://wwweb.

It runs noticeably faster than under any other platform I have seen this far.

From a developers point of view I have to work from my zip drive and copy upgraded forms and reports etc across using file manager. I don't know enough about networking to explain what might be going on but I can't get changes to save from within Paradox across the network. But that is very minor in comparison to the gains.
