Corel Paradox / ObjectPAL Coding Unanswered Threads

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?

Please could anyone tell me if there is a way to change the splash screen at the startup of Paradox 11. I did it V9 by editing the pxres09.dll file but cant find a similar file to edit in V11. I have seen one post on the buliten board about splash screen on Runtime V9 but this didn't work on Full Paradox V11... Any help or pointers greatly apreciated

Hi Does anyone know if it's possible to change the icon of the mouse cursor? I want to change it to an arrow when hovering over a table, instead of the 'line' cursor. Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone, I´m a network consultant of various small offices in Argentina that actually uses Paradox 8 over Windows XP. Paradox systems are mantained by a small team of local programmers. We just start to upgrade the workstations to Intel I5 / Windows 7 64bits (4gb of ram, maximum 32gb) Systems works Ok under Windows 7 64bits. We have read the article at /ASPSuite/KB/Document_View.asp?QID=101303 that says there is not 64-bit version of Paradox. In this case: - Are the new processor (Intel I5 here) a significative difference over the previous Pentium Dual Core?, - Are RAM upgrades of more of 3GB (eg: 8 / 16GB) fully used by Paradox Runtime?, , The scenario in this instalation is a centralized server (Samba/Linux) with Quadcore Xeon processor, Gigabit connection and 4Gigabytes of RAM. Can we optimize this server for Paradox with more memory? , thanks and regards!

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().

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 just started using Paradox 9.  (Had been using Paradox 7.) is there any way to get the right-click context sensitive menu back? For example, I often have mailing labels, and I would right-click and choose "Open With" to open with a new table.  How do I do that now? Also, I'd right-click a text file to import. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

Having used Paradox 7 on win95 thru to win 98, XP, and Win7 using the compatability tab making it WinNT with SP4 all was well, i have just installed Win8 on a text machine, and installed Pdx 7 - sadly there is no compatability drop down for WinNT SP4 - so what do i do know. The program opens, but when i go to select my data source it is telling me (or rather not allowing me to select my database on account of the OK button being greyed out). When i open Pdx direct, and then go to the Alias Manager, to manually configure to select my d/base the OK button is still grayed out. Is it easy to upgrade to Corel Paradox 11 - or does it mean re-writing loads of stuff to allow the database to actually work.. Please help.. Luckily i still have (and my clients) still are using Windows 7 or lower. M!chael

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.

HI, We are using the corel web server OCX behind an apache proxy on the same machine. Everything works fine except the IP Address showing on the web server is the IP address of the proxy server (127.0.0.1) instead of the original/real IP address of the client. Is there a proxy server out there I can use with the Corel Web Server OCX so that I can retrieve the original/real Ip address of the client?

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?

Iv'e been using paradox8 since it came out in the corel suite.  I have a fairly complex set of tables, forms, reports, queries, and scripts.  There is a lot of automation of document production via wordpefect, client and expense accounting, billing, time tracking, and file annotation.  There are some convoluted datamodels, alot of referential integrity and plenty of code attached to various objects and methods.  Everything is heavily integrated.  All of this amounts to a full featured Law office client file suite (I'm a lawyer, and I really do not like the offerings made to the legal community).  I hve decided abandon Mr. Gates and am transitioning to Linux.  I know there is no (and likely will not be) a paradox for linux.  So I'm hoping there is another suite of some sort out there which I can use to do the same tasks.  I even have small hope that perhaps there is some conversion software somewhere that will accommodate the scripts, forms, ...

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 report that has a table on it.  The table is located in the PRIV file.   Object Pal code copies the table from the PrivMaster to the Priv folder and then Data is inserted into the table.  A report has the table on the data module and the table on the report is defined to the table in the PRIV folder.   The report will not print the first row in the table, but all subsequent rows will print.  I moved the data around in the table to make sure that it wasn't a specific piece of data, but  it appears to be only the first row in the table that is omitted when the report is printed.  Run Time property for the table on the report has the YES radio button selected on the Show All Records.  Any idea's of what I can check when the first row of the table will not print?  ,

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...

Database with 14K entries is back up to a corrupted database with loss of data. Repair shows no corruption. Working currently on Vista (Vista issues clear). Trying to open the blob files contents to rebuild the original deletes individual blob field contents permanently (leaving record and revisiting or closing file and reopening shows the records accessed without their stored objects). I keep hoping someone has an idea about this. it is most likely connected to the original issue of file corruption with disappearance of multiple blob entries.

Currently using Paradox 11.0.0.663 - Have an existing input form and have experienced a change this week for one user in the way the cursor is positioned when pressing F2 edit.  For all other users when F2 is pressed the cursor positions itself at the beginning of the field.  For this user upon pressing F2 the cursor is positioned at the end of the field.  I have been unable to find a solution to return the cursor to it's normal position (at beginning of field) upon edit.  I am sure it was a sequence of key strokes hit.  Closing out Paradox does not return cursor to correct position.

PdoxRT10 - WinXP sp3 - Excel 2003 or 2010 Hello - I'm trying to block the use of the ctrl key to prevent the user from copying/pasting data into a field in Paradox. The problem is when they copy/paste (from EXCEL) into the Pdox field, you do not "see" what was just pasted unless you click into the field and "arrow" to the left OR click on a different field on that form (then the text appears). This is causing the user to paste into the field twice, then they can see the text. They move on with their working like normal, but the data posted into the table is not right. In the table, I see the orginal pasted data, then a couple of "squares" (returns characters or seomthing?) and then I see the data again, which should only be in the field one time, without any weird symbols in the mix.

Hi all, I just migrated an application I wrote before Y2K in Pdox 8 to Win7 and Pdox 11.  It went pretty smoothly. The issue is that with the equipment and staff I had at the time, screen resolution set at 800 x 600 seemed reasonable.  It's still fine to have the screen full of my app, but with monitors and other apps running, it is a joke to try and view a web page on the machine. My app is extensive and I'm hoping there is a method to do a universal object resize or a realitive method on all objects to expand the form size as desired and have all objects resize accordingly.  I have an uncomfortable feeling, but I'm hoping someone has an idea, because I'm fresh out of them.  Many thanks for feedback.
