Paradox Error Message

[mrdavid57]

1). I'm in the process of converting a Paradox application over to MS Access97. I have imported the tables perfectly. I also know that I must redevelope my forms. My problem is whenever I try to view the Paradox application forms to see what tables that they are referencing, I get the message box, "You can not edit this form". The person who initially designed the forms, no longer works with the company. Is there anyway to find out how to break this code? Or, how else can I find out what tables are being used?

2). I try to open the the form, let's say, "ENGJOB.FSL". I'm getting the error message "An error was triggered in the 'home' method on an object of TCursor type. What does this mean and how do I fix ?

I assume these are 2 unrelated issues.

1) If all you have are the delivered versions of the forms (.FDL forms) then there is no (economic) way of drilling these back to original code. If the person who developed the forms did the development on your company's time, then your company owns the source code. You should contact the relevant person and ask for the source code forms.

2) This error usually means that a table referenced by the form or its data model is missing. If the missing table is referenced in code only, then you should be able to load the form in design mode without the error. If so, then invoke the debugger and step through the code to find the missing table.
