I have installed Paradox 11 on my PC after many years of using Paradox 9. Everything working fine exept when I try to print anything at all. I get a "General protection" error message and the program crashes. Has any one had any experience and know of any fix to this problem?

I have a terminal server installation that has been running paradox 11 runtime.  All users on this installation access paradox through the terminal server. After running fine for the initial four months, I recently ran into a curuption problem that looked a lot like the old Oplocks of NT days or Terminal User settings of Win TS server 2003. I could watch two users viewing the same table, the edits of user A would not appear for user B after user A committed the edits and the table would get immediately currupted.  It looked to me that both users were holding the tables in memory and not committing changes to disk until the user left the table.  A single user could function normally in the application without curruption.  I tried a lot of things on that server to try to fix it including oplocks and terminal user reg edits, but I couldn't correct the problem. I recovered the entire server from a month old backup, prior to the start of the problem, install...

I dual boot WinXP Pro X32 and Windows 7 X64 Pro on separate drives and run Paradox 11 from WP Office X3 on both.  I mostly use XP and  there are no problems with Pdox after those updates but when I went to use it under Windows 7 today the Project Viewer showed no files in the working directory. Until now there was no problem with the Windows 7 installation.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Pdox and then tried to set Project Viewer to the proper working directory and it crashes.  I've tried this several times.  If I open a table with Explorer Pdox will start and open it but if I try Project Viewer it crashes.  I went to check the BDE settings but I can't seem to find BDE in the control panel or anywhere else in Windows 7.

I am encountering an error when I try to post table data using a tcursor in ObjectPAL (Paradox 8.0).  System error reads: "An error was triggered in the 'postrecord' method on an object of tcursor type" --> "This record is not locked so the operation is invalid."  I'm not sure how the record would be unlocked. The main code is attached to a pushbutton event. At the top, I open a tcursor to a specific table (e.g., tc1.open(ATableName)).  I use some qlocates to search for and test certain dates and values.  Then I tc.close(). No problem. A little further down, I call a method that's also attached to the pushbutton object.  Inside the method, I open a differently-named tcursor to that same table (e.g., tc2.open(ATableName)).  I do some qlocates and later post some data to several different records in the table.    The data posts without a problem.  At the end of the method, I make sure to endedit() and close().

hello, im using Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) to parse and create XML-documents. when i call certain methods of the oleAuto-objects, Paradox crashes when reaching the endMethod statement, (the code is in the pushButton event of a button). That brought me to the conclusion, that the problem could be the "releasing" of oleAuto-variables. so i´ve put the variable-declarations to the form. if i debug the code, the, GPF doesn´t appear at the endMethod of the Button anymore, but still occurs when exiting the program. So i might be right that the problem is where it comes to release variables.  Explicit close() orders of the OLE-objects do not solve the problem. Anyone got an idea? I really need that MSXML to work :-( Other MSXML-Methods work very well, like searching XML-files via XPath for specific elements etc. . here comes the code and the xml-files., the code validates the xml-file against the xml-schemafile, (code and xml-files are from the microsoft ...

I have for quite some time been unable to access the "Import, Export and Table Repair" utilities on the paradox menus.  Endless uninstall, reinstall routines; checks for existence of files such as Tutility.exe, have failed to resolve the irritation of not being able to use these functions. Recently, I installed paradox on a laptop.  It is the same operating system  as the desktop, (XP)  Lo and behold the program worked fully, and well. ( But still not on the desktop) I notice that even when I have done uninstalls, cleans and apparently everything I can find  on my drives that relate to Paradox, when I reinstall, it still knows all the aliases that I had set up previously. Obviously, there are some files deeply embeded in my hard drives somewhere, that retain information about paradox. My question is, "where are they?" "what are they?" and "Might they contain corrupted files that could cause the problems?"  Interestingly, when I choose 'Import' from the...

I am trying to streamline a work flow for our secretary and it occurred to me that she can sequentially copy multiple texts in another application to clipboard with cntrl-c. She can do this in sequence. Say family name, given name unit number. Can she then click on a button in Paradox to distribute these values to a Paradox table?? No problem for a single item, but what about the multiple values? Thanks, Paul. oops excuse the douple post!

Howdy,So here's the setup:-data server (windows 2003):holds all of our database files, forms, reports,...-terminal server (windows 2000):used to be used for all staff, now used for  administration staff and has a copy of paradox 10.-terminal server (windows 2008):used for some admin staff and almost all sales  staff and has a copy of paradox 10.Users on the 2008 server can no longer paste pictures to a graphic field without the UAC making a big fuss. I can't find a way to mark the executable CDRCONV.EXE as an innocous process and our sys admin only knows how to add new users to the system, even simple printing problems are being farmed out. Does anybody know how to cure this ?Another small problem: how do I stop the 'Paradox for windows has stopped working' dialog box from coming up every time someone closes down Paradox.Thanks Eric

I’m running into one problem after another with this assignment I’m doing. Harrr. This time it’s about the output file that I’m trying to create with a textStream. I believe I’ve found a partial solution to some of the problems I have if I can add text lines to the start of the text file. I’ve tried it, but no matter what I do, the original first line always get overwritten. I first tried a normal new file open(name,nw). then I tried to create a new file, close it, then open the file in append mode open(name,a). Nothing helps. Is it at all possible to add text to the front of a text stream?

Over the past year I have been migrating from Paradox 7.5 to Paradox 11. I am finding that in Paradox 11 I am having trouble using readprofilestring calls as the Calculated value of a field definition.  After Definiing the value, when I try to run the form(or report) I get a general protection error and often the session is currupted and I have to leave (or Ctrlaltdlt) paradox and go back to a previously saved version.  It seems like I can use one profilestring definition in a form, but a second will cause the curruption. I just did a test, and a profile string statement that works when I set it in Pdox75, but it causes the above problem when I try to set it in PDOX11.  And the PDOX7 created form will run in PDOX11. But if I edit the the field definition and try to run the form in PDOX 11, it curupts the session. Has anyone else run into this?  Any Comments? Here is a readprofilestring statement that can be used in PDOX75, run in PDOX11 but not edited in P...

HI Guys, I am pretty new to programming as such. Recently I undertook a project where I had to change the current forms to show an edit form before records get posted to the server table for good. However, one of the users is complaining that when he tries to enter data, the form seems to jump such that the line he was editing is not the line he should be.  Of all the users he seems to be the only one having this problem.  One other has said that it happens to her sometimes. I have looked at all the code, stripped all the unwanted code and cannot seem to see any reason why the form would be jumping for only one user. Can you help..it'll be well appreciated. Many Thanks, Ansuiya

Dear friends, I hope someone can help me with this intriguing problem: I have been using Paradox 9(Developers Edition) on VISTA for a couple of yeasr now, and generally, the problems have been few. Now I have an old project that isn't working properly, and whn I try to debug the code, the debugger goes completely blank, so I can't identify the problem. The code is very simple - it is linked to a drop-down list, and when the item has been selected, the name is used to look up related information in a table and put that information into a series of undefined fields. The problem is that the table look-up executes correctly, and the correct data is put into the required field; but the data(numeric) then changes and becomes totally unrelated to the real data. when I run the debugger, the screen goes blank and I can not follow the execution of the code.I am going crazy, can anyone help me please?many thanks in advanceAlan,

I have a Paradox 9 form which is linked to client information. In the lower portion there is a space for case notes involving client communications. The columns include date, speaker, and notes, (also there is a column to differentiate entries made on the same date.)When entering a new case note, a user enters edit mode (F9) scrolls down past the last note to create a new blank one, hits space bar 3 times for current date, enters their initials under speaker, and then proceeds to input the new communication.Everything has worked fine, (albeit slowly on occasion), until today. When someone creates a new note, Paradox APPEARS to also blank out a random prior note. As the operator proceeds with the new note, the information is duplicated in the prior row as well. When the note is complete, exiting edit mode (F9) does not fix the issue, but scrolling up and highlighting the glitching entry will revert it to it's original form.Since this issue appears to be visual only, it's not catastrophi...

I just loaded Paradox 9 on my Windows 7 computer to do a conversion for a client, and the only thing that doesn't seem to be working right is the alias/working directory situation. My installation keeps defaulting to my user directory if I try to change the working directory using an alias.

I have been running Paradow 11 for several years. Some years ago the command Printersetcurrent() was constantly hanging under Windows XP SP2. The problem was solved by returning to XP without SP. Now the system has been migrated (unchanged) to Windows 7, and it has been running perfectly (except for an opening message of unknown program source) for more months, but suddenly Printersetcurrent() hangs again. I will appreciate any clues to a solution of the problem as it prevents printing of offers and certificates for an Insurance Broker. Regards Finn Kjaer finn@fkjaer.dk

We are currently experiencing a problem with 16bit Paradox 7.  When I run a delete query (QBE) the query completes and we would assume that all the data that we want to remove has been removed. However, when we check the table we ran this query on only some of the data has been removed.  So we run the query again..  When we check the table more of the data has been removed but some is still left. We have to repeat this multiple times before all the data is gone.  Each time we repeat it we don't modify the query - its the same one we ran 1st time around. What could be causing this problem and how can we solve it? I would appreciate all advice offered regarding this question. Best Wishes John

Hello all, and HELP!I have a customer who runs a custom app based on a Paradox 9 database. Approx 25 users running on a SBS 2008 system. All the PC's are running XP Pro SP3. The database lives on a Windows Storage Server 2003 box. Since we have been replacing PC's that were giving problems, we also seem to have increased the number of corruptions occuring in the database tables.   There are two tables that are the regular offenders, being the ones that get thrashed the most. They currently store approx 100,000 records in each table. There has always been an issue of corruption since the system was implemented (apparantly, as this was before we took over their IT) but it has now increased to occuring on a daily basis.The error we get is 52 level 2, BTree errors. Always seem to be pointing at the same record(?!?), Things tried so far:1. Change the local setting in BDE Admin - no effect2.

I have always had a problem with this and it has come up again so time to ask, am I missing something? I have a text object in a report with fixed wording and two embedded fields containing variable information. Fonts are all the same formatting (Arial 8 Regular) but the alignment between the fixed text and the embedded text is never correct in the final print out. The embedded fields align OK but not with the fixed text.... The result does not look neat. So am I missing something? Thaks, Paul.

I have a longstanding Paradox 7.5 application using the Mail function (mapi) call.  The code ran fine on XP with Outlook 2003.  On a new windows 7 machine with Outlook 10 (build 14.XXX.500 I think) installed, I get a General protection fault when I call the M.senddlg(). Has anyone else seen this? Is anyone aware of MAPI settings options for Outlook  10 or Windows 7 that might affect Mapi calls? Anyone?  Anyone?

I am having problems changing the sort order on a DBgrid at runtime (I am using paradox tables). I have pre-defined an index for each field I wish to sort on (in ascending order)., , I can change which column to sort on by clicking in the column title without problems, but changing the ascend/descend order does not work., , I have stepped through my code and the index definition appears to be getting changed correctly but it seems to lose the change when the Indexdefs are updated or the table is reopened. Here is my routine that is called from the OnTitleClick event., , procedure TTimeSeriesForm.Descend(DoDescending: boolean; Column: TColumn);, var, I: Integer;, begin, CatGrid.DataSource.DataSet.DisableControls;, with Datamodule2 do, begin, CSR.Close;, for I := 0 to CSR.IndexDefs.Count - 1 do, if (CSR.IndexDefs.Items.Fields = Column.FieldName) then, begin, if (Not DoDescending) then, CSR.IndexDefs.Items.DescFields :=...

Hi Mike, I have a paradox9 app which I distribute with runtime. Works fine on XP and W7. However with vista it cannot initialize the BDE unless the UAC is turned off.  Is there another way to circumvent having to disable the UAC.  Someone mentioned the 'running as administrator' option that's available by right clicking on the startup icon. Does this work? Problem is, I do not have (and don't want) a vista machine to test options.  It is a stand alone, one-user app with local share set to false Thanks. Any advice or tips are appreciated. Randy

I recently bought a new computer  (Core i7, 3.33 GHz, Windows 7 64 bit) and then installed and upgrade to  WP office X15, including Paradox 11.I've been doing this kind of query of decades and had no trouble before., Now,  when I make a QBE I get the usual answer table, but when I go to Query, Properties, Structure and change the query structure order and then  click the Run the Query button the following message appears:  Paradox for Windows Desktop.  Paradox for Windows Desktop has stopped working.  It says it will try to find a solution but never does.  Paradox then closes down.Occasionally, it crashes as above when I only go to Query and then click on Properties., I did a reinstall of Paradox which did nothing and also a reinstall of WPO5.  Still have the problem.  Every other function of Paradox 11 seems to work fine., Any suggestions about how I can cure this problem?  Thanks,JG,

We are using Paradox 8 and we have some logic that is stored in a string and then executed using the executeString() method.  Something like this (the logic isn't important because that's not where the problem is): exeStr = "var newTbl Table endvar\nnewTbl = create \""+tName+"\" "+,      "WITH \"ADate\" : \"D\","+,       "\"SDate\" : \"D\","+,       "\"TotalCust\" : \"N\","+,       "\"TotalPayment\" : \"N\","+,       "\"TotalSavings\" : \"N\"" etc... executeString(exeStr) There are dozens of these executeString methods in the process flow but we ran into an issue where several started failing when we moved from a Windows 2000 PC to a Windows XP PC.  The error is as follows: The play procedure could not find the script named 'C:\private1\__Q2FD09.SSL'. Could not write to file., Cannot create a unique file name. Based on the help, th...

Hello.  I have used Paradox since version 3.0 and in all versions since when I selected tables to query the query displayed the tables in reverse order from my selection. I loaded both Pdox 9 and 10 on Windows 7 and when I chose tables they displayed in an alpha sort order.  This definitely does not help me, are there any suggestions? If you see Wes please tell him that Ralph says hello. Thanks Ralph Maxwell

I have used the prestwood boards a couple of times in the past to find solutions to compatibility issues for the version of paradox I work in and decided it was time to join the board and contribute. I've been working in Paradox 7.5 since, well 1995.. I Started in paradox 4.5.  After 5 years maintaining and developing quality control apps for my employer at the time,  Database consulting blossomed into a full time carreer for me.  I have been self employed as a freelance developer since 1999.  I have managed to stay in paradox 7.5 with brief forrays into 8 and 9.  Those forays were because a client bought into the newer versions, not because the 7.5 version couldn't do something they wanted it to.  Since 7.5 has been a strong performer all these years, I have not encouraged my clients to move up the ladder yet.  I prefer the borland environment, but would be interested in hearing about advantages corel has added since they t...
