Problem Posts

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(). A...

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 ...
