Well, please excuse my long absence.  I have been doing well until lately.  I have moved from XP to Windows 7, now my lookup tables are not working.  As a matter of fact, Paradox 9 closes down as soon as I make a selection from the table.  I really need some help here PLEASE.

Awesome Don. Thanks for posting. I have no clue regarding your missing data. I have never heard of Windows deleting personal data. Have you tried an undelete program? It might be interesting to see what turns up when it scans your HD. By the way, welcome!

Anyone currently using or studying Prism? If so, post here. I'd like to know if you're studying it or using it on a real project. Also, did you use Delphi, Delphi for .Net, Oxygene, or Lazarous? We have a few existing Delphi clients we are migrating from Delphi to Delphi Prism this next quarter but I've got Delphi Prism and I'm primarily studying it right now.  I'm filling in the Prisdm data for my Prism Cross Reference Language Guides.

Hi, I'm new to this group but old to PDOX. I have a small network of 5 and the transition to W7 was seamless except it was essential to use a folder in the net dir as opposed to the root directory.

Your logged in user account doesn't have enough rights. For example, when a computer is newly joined to a domain, it typically does not have full rights to write to it's own hard drive. Lots of ways around this, but the technique we usually use is to add the specific user (more secure) or domain users (less secure but more flexible) to the administrator group of the local computer. You have to log in as a domain admin to do this. Other reasons are similar in nature: out of space, CFG used by another resource, etc. You can also try saving the CFG to a folder known to have full rights by this user.

We have been using Paradox on Windows SBS 2003 for several years. Decided to stay with Paradox since we have put a lot of time in it and it is still working. So recently upgraded to Wordperfect X5. Supposedly got the "terminal services" edition. Anyway our bde is 5.0.1. I have downloaded the version archived here. But my question is do we need to use bde administrator? Corel doesn't support it. We can't tell that it is part of the program we bought. So makes me wonder if we even need it. I mean is Corel selling a product that will not work without a program that is not part of the package, not even being updated and is hard to find?  Really?

Hi Bob, You probably just need to resave all forms, reports, scripts, and libraries.

Enumprinters() looks at the installed printers.  If MS Image writer is installed (as it is on all our work computers) AND if it is set to be your default printer, this code will fail.  Anybody have a solution?

Posted to MB Topic: Paradox Setup, Vista, etc. « Paradox Board

What version of Paradox are you using? Have you applied the patches? Also, do all the printers exist? If not, delete the printers that do not exist.

Oh, also, here's an example of using createIndex() to create a paradox primary key just in case you wish to go that direction:method pushButton(var eventInfo Event), var,  tblNoKeyTable Table,  dynAttribs Dynarray[] Anytype,  dynFieldnums Array[1] Smallint, endvar dynFieldnums[1]=1, dynAttribs["PRIMARY"] = True tblNoKeyTable.attach(":work:NoKeyTable.db"), tblNoKeyTable.createindex(dynAttribs, dynFieldnums), endMethod   See the example in the ObjectPAL help for createIndex() too, it shows you how to create secondary indexes.

Hi Joe, Can you use a loop? Perhaps a for or while loop? Here's an article on looping: Looping in ObjectPAL - http://www.prestwoodboards.com/ASPSuite/KB/document_view.asp?qid=101170&GroupID=25

I am having troubles with Paradox 11 running under XP, , In table restructure, the 'lookup dialogue box' is not available. When I attempt to invoke it, the program returns the error message;....., , Access Violation at address 00A8F6AC in Module 'PXDCRT32.DLL' . read of address 00000000., , Does this mean anything to anyone? and is there a fix?

, I completely agree. I don't think SendKeys is a viable programming technique going forward. That's too bad though cuz it sure filled in for difficult programming tasks.
