Hi Everybody,
I am looking for some pieces of information regardix Paradox Automation. Enybody can help me?

Best Regards
Marcin
 
Sorry, I want to get access to Paradox tables (ver. 8.0) from external system. My system does not support ODBC, so the only way may be OLE Automation or OCX. I have found a component PdoxAuto 8.0, but I do not know how to use it.

Regards
Marcin
 
Do you have Paradox the Application installed?

Read its Help system; the OLEAuto stuff is in there.

If you don't have Paradox the Application installed, and are looking solely at pdoxAuto, then you should locate a site/forum where there are people who can help.


Lastly, you might consider purchasing a copy of Paradox. eBary has some very inexpensive deals on Paradox. Having the Help system available would likely save you hours of try/fail and guessing.

Thank you everybody for your help. I do not know Paradox but if I uderstood correctly OLEAuto helps you to get access to other systems from Paradox. I want to get access to Paradox from other system. I tried to google but found nothing. A friend of mine helped me and I have a OCX that allows me for this. Thank you again.

You found a solution?

An OCX that connects to Paradox tables?

I'd be real interested in such an animal, if you don't mind sharing where you got it.

Hi Tony

Vladimir Menkin has PxForms Anywhere on his web site. I believe this uses a web browser to access paradox forms. Have you had any experience with this?

I have used his Excel Library and it is excellent wanted another view on this before I went in and had a play with the sample.

Again thanks for all your help


 
No, no experience with pxForms.

I code everything by hand in opal for the Web sites I do that are data driven.

However, I've read many posts by people who are using or have at least tested.

Another miracle from Vladimir, from those accounts.

It certainly appears to be worth a test drive if you don't want to do the nitty-gritty of coding the site.
