Comment about Merge a Word Document with a Paradox table
Depends quite a bit on what you want to do.
If you're just looking to control a mail-merge, then DDE is probably the best way to go.
However, if you're looking to create a more sophisticated report using Word as a template, you might also consider using OpenOffice ODT format as an interim step. These are actually just zip files, so if you unzip them using ObjectPAL via a commandline utility, you can get at the text portion pretty easily.
This allows you to create a complex template in OpenOffice with characteristic field markers that you can can process and rewrite with the markers replaced with any fields or data you want.
Finally you rezip up the template as a new file which can be opened in Word or OpenOffice.
It sounds complicated, but it really isn't, and it does free you from the limitations of the Paradox reporting tool.

Converting from a Workgroup to a Domain
For a particular user on a particular computer, all programs installed for all users will still be available whether they log into their computer or the domain. You will have to migrate all other user specific settings either manually or use an automated tool.
Both of which are incomplete so expect to have to manually migrate some application specific settings and data for each user. At a minimum, log into the old local account and migrate My Documents, Desktop, Favorites, and perhaps e-mail such as the Outlook .PST or Outlook Express .DBX files.

Mike Prestwood |  RE: Windows 7 deleting information...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! |

John.B4 | Windows 7 / BDE 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. |

Mike Prestwood | RE: BDE Configuration 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.

Michael.C | Need bde administrator?? 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 boug... |

Craigslist Job Posting Posted
New unpaid intern position posted to Craigslist. We hire about 1 in 4 techs that go through our formal intern program. Either way, it's a great way to gain some real industry experience.

Great approach! Very similar to coding for Win32/Win64 in Delphi and other such code base compiler if defs.

1. The Future of Paradox Blog
If you have an existing Paradox system you can keep using it but you'll need to skip the Vista operating system and either stick with Windows XP or move to Windows 7. Because better tools exist, you may very well want 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.
