Paradox Tutility

Hi Everyone,

I own and run a 'Professional' version of WP Ofice X3.  This of course includes Paradox.

For some time (perhaps even Never in this version) I have been unable start and run the Table repair utility.

I have visually checked the program folder and cannot find Tutility.exe.

Should it be there?   If not, how do I get a copy of the utility to effect table repairs?

Ross

Hi Ross,

Well, in my version 11, table repair is now an option under the "Tools" submenu, from Paradox's main window. If you look for anything in an executable form, you're right: it's not there anymore. Only as DLL's.

Hope this helps?

Cheers,

Harry D.

Hi Harry,

I can see it there alright.  The problem is that just simply does not fire.  I have tried selecting a table first but it still does nothing when I click on it.

Do a search for tutil32.fdl.  It should be in something like C:\Program Files (x86)\WordPerfect Office 11\Paradox.  Also check the registry setting for HKey_Current_User\Software\Corel\Paradox\11.0\Experts\09

CoreUI\TableRepair

Hi Dan,

I have done a search and found tutil32.fdl.  I also found an entry in the registry.  The utility still does not run.  On several occasions, I have tried to resolve this conundrum by doing a full re-install.  Which ever way I go, I still do not get access to the table repair utility.

I you have a suggested solution, I would be delighted to hear ti.

Hi Ross,

Sorry to read that it doesn't appear to work on your system. I haven't had to use ithe repair utility as yet, but I did a test run on a .DB file, just to see if it would it work: it does.

Is there any error message that you are getting?

Is the file you would want to repair by any chance an older version of the Paradox file format? Paradox's ".DB" format of version 5 (or earlier) can run into trouble when used on newer computer systems, due to the long length of the file name variables, but you'd tend to get a inappropriate error message like "file xyz.DB is not a database file".

Taking that error into account (i.e.: not recognizing a file as a .DB), it might be interesting to copy the file to a folder closer to the drive's root and try the repair utility again?

If it works, it should work right off the "Tool" submenu.

Good luck. :-)

Cheers,

Harry D.
