The controversial [URL=http://www.prestwood.com/community/reference/H1-B_KB_Article.html]H1-B visa program[/URL] was increased by lobbying groups such as TechNet several years ago. An H1-B visa allows a foreign worker to temporarily take a position in the United States away from a U.S. citizen., , Does the shortage of talent still exist?, Is it time to abolish H1-B visas?, If not, is it time to lower the available H1-B visas to pre-1998 levels?, , [URL=http://www.prestwood.com/community/reference/H1-B_KB_Article.html]Read Full Article[/URL]

Again with me and the XP box The application we are creating in Pdox9sp3 did work on the XP workstation running from the server. The settup uses a shared IDAPI.CFG on server harddrive thats mapped as G on all the workstations. The IDAPI points to the .NET file thats on G also. Suddenly the app won't run on the XP workstation any more with this error:, , Could not initialize BDE.:, You have attemted to open a database that is in use by someone else, but the database cannot be shared. you must set the location for the .NET control file., , The workstation can access the app and edit the files but the program won't run., , I'm thinking XP's is living on that workstation on borrowed time. Next error i'm whiping it. Harrrrr, , I'll be very appreciative of any help though :)

Hey, I'm trying to update the old table from one that the changes live on. The idea is to find in the input table all the records that doesn't occur in the old table and add them. I've done some code with two nested loops. Outside loop is a while and the inside one is a scan. For some reason the inside loop scan is only called once, because the msgInfo after "proven inocent" only apears once. I think this means the while only run's once but I can't figure out why. This is the code I've come up with:, , isNew = true ;//guilty untill proven inocent, , if tcInput.open(inTable) and tcOutput.open(toTable) and tcOutput.edit() then, while tcInput.eot() = false, scan tcOutput, for upper(tcOutput."ProductName") = upper(tcInput."ProductName"), and upper(tcOutput."PresentationCode") = upper(tcInput."PresentationCode"), and upper(tcOutput."Volume") = upper(tcInput."Volume"), , : isNew = false ;//proven inocent, msgInfo(string(isNew),tcOutput."ProductName"), endScan, , if isNew then ;//dealing with...

I have 2 forms. On form 1, the user makes a selection from a table, then pushes a button which opens form 2. This is my attempt to get around not being able to filter detail tables on a form. In other words, form 1 acts as a filter. This all works fine, if form 2 isn't already open., , My question is how to check whether form 2 is open and close it if it is. Or manipulate the tables in form 2 with it open., , Harry

I cut and paste images into an image field on a Paradox form and I've been doing this with no problems for years; yesterday I got a message saying 'Unknown internal operating system error' with a reference to the .MB file, when I tried to paste an image in. Paradox hung. After restarting, I verified and rebuilt the table and it imported the image ok but when I tried to do it with a new record the same thing happened.I'm using Paradox 10.0.0.663 running on a Lenovo laptop with Vista Home Premium and Service Pack 2. The database has 121,900 records in it but not all of them have images.Does anyone know what might be causing this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.,

As a result of an extended discussion in the H1B thread, I suggested that we start a new topic on brainstorming ideas for finding work in the current market. This includes job hunting tips as well as ideas for software products to develop or software services to offer., , The idea is to have everyone throw out as many ideas as possible with the intention that those who are out of work grab any useful ones and use them to get a job, get a contract with a user, or start developing a product to sell. Any of these are better than sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring!, , So, everyone, if you have any ideas that you are willing to share, please pitch them in now!

I am using ASP and this is the code I am using, ,

Is there a maximum library size that one should stay under. The reason I ask is that I am experiencing quite a few General Protection Faults and I am uncertain as to why. I know in the past that we encountered this problem with calling a windows dll from the uses block. Someone told me that Paradox had a problem with Windows libraries over 64K. Does this 64K size apply to all libraries?

How do you construct nested SELECT statements in Paradox?, , For example, this query would work in sql server but would error out on the second SELECT keyword:, , SELECT Product."PRODUCT_ID", Product."CO_ID", Product."PRODUCT_CATEGORY_ID", Product."PRODUCT_CODE", Product."DESCRIPTION", Matchcode_Products."MATCHCODE_PRODUCT_ID", Matchcode_Products."PRODUCT_ID", Matchcode_Products."MATCHCODE", Matchcode_Products."PRODUCT_EXISTS", Matchcode_Products."PRODUCT_COUNT", Matchcode_Products."OTHER_DESCRIPTION", FROM "Product.DB" Product, FULL OUTER JOIN , (SELECT * FROM "Matchcode_Products.DB" Matchcode_Products, WHERE Matchcode_Products."MATCHCODE" = '00646IMPRE231') mp, ON (Product."PRODUCT_ID" = mp."PRODUCT_ID"), WHERE Product."CO_ID" = 'D'

Hi, I joined the board because I thought I was one of the only folks who still uses Paradox.  I use Paradox 5 (stop laughing) on a Win XP Professional platform.  I built a stamp collection application for maintaining a catalog and inventory of my stamp collection, which is based on the Petroleum Industry theme.  I maintain my files on my Dell Dimension desktop and have been able to work on the tables with forms I created from my laptop via wireless home network.  I mapped some network drives on the laptop, set the working directory to the appropriate drive (via alias) and have been happily working this way for years.  Now my laptop is kaput, so I bought a new one and basically reproduced everything so I could continue using Paradox to access my tables over the wireless connection.  But when I try to open any form that shows the table data, I get an error: "Cannot open STAMP.DB", "Not initialized for accessing network files.", "Table: Z:\STAMP.DB".

I'm looking into using sendkeys for a weekly function I want to accomplish.

I am attempting to use the restructure method to add one index and 5 new fields to about 100 tables--something I WILL NOT do by hand. , , I have used the enum... methods an built example tables for the restructure() to use, but it does not want to add any new fields. When I look in the ObjectPal Reference guide, it tells me to use RestructureAdd to add fields by using the ID field in the tables to specify the operation type--the ID field is a numeric type, and will not allow text to be entered--what am I missing here?

Not sure where to put this, but I am interested in whether the general groups feels there is more of a market out there for paradox apps or access apps. Keeping this short i won't go into my background, but I am thinking of making a career change, currently i am not in a development enviroment but am thinking of getting back into it. I have developed apps in both Paradox (my first development platform, and my first love) and Access. I am thinking of getting back into the field developing stand alone apps and I guess I need to pick one or the other to use, and i am wondering which would be the better choice as far as more marketable? , , I hope this post makes sense as I need to make a decision on wheter to purchase the Paradox Development edition or the Office Developer tools., , I would appreciate the groups comments, either on here or via email. Thanks
