    Tip

    1. Naming Fields: Choose a Context Name

    Tip: When naming fields/columns in a table, use ONE name for the data in the field. For example, although states are called provinces and other names in other coutries, use one or the other in the database but not both. Use CompanyState, avoid CompanyStateProvince. Use labels in your website or program to switch context.

    Has anyone gotten the following dialogue when opening Paradox 9 in Vista?

    "An attempt was made to access an unmanned file past its end."

    After clicking Ok, the program starts and runs in a fairly stable manner.  When I tried installing higher versions of Paradox in Vista (like the one from the X3 package), the same message comes up and blocks the program from running at all.

    Refer to the section titled "Defeat Vista's Application Virtualization" in the Paradox 9 on Vista article. That should help.

    Hi, I've just downloaded your trial version of psSendMail to run with Paradox 9.  It appears to work fine and be just what I need - EXCEPT.  When I run it on a Vista machine and send HTML emails, it just seems to send plain text.  Yes, I do have the HTML flag set to True - works great with XP.

    Your help appreciated.

    Regards

    Martin Evans

    The Future of Paradox Blog

    Authored by , Posted By mprestwood
    If you're still using Paradox for any of your business database applications, you need to put a plan together now for converting to another development tool or at least understand what the future is likely to hold. If you're a power-user or researcher working with data, stick with Paradox at least for now.

    Windows XP Not Supported After June 30, 2008

    Authored by , Posted By Wes
    Microsoft plans to discontinue sales of Windows XP on June 30, 2008. Because XP is a tried and true OS, and because of numerous problems with Vista, many users and IT departments would prefer to stick with XP. InfoWorld has an initiative to keep XP alive indefinitely. You can help.

    Failed Hard Drives and RAID

    If you've used computers for more than a few years, you know that you don't wonder IF a hard drive will fail - you wonder WHEN. It just happened to me - again. But this time it looks like the results will be pretty painless. The reasons? * RAID Level 1 * Superb Hard Drive manufacturer warranty support
