This thread is about Paradox 9/10. I am running X3 (11) which may be another issue. I have 10 somewhere and am seriously considering removing x3, although I don't think the changes are that drastic. One more Windows 7 issue:  It is not or no longer possible to remove fields from the field structure interface. Names can be changed and fields can be rearranged or added, but not removed. This could just as easily be an X3 change.

Thanks. Found them. One of the issues with my installation is that search has not worked from the beginning. A late answer t the initial question. There are definitely issues with W7 Paradox on Windows 7. Corel has created some patches for various versions, but has, possibly in order to increasing sales of x5, or possibly because previous patches did not work correctly. Therefor, to get any patches or service packs, you need to upgrade to at least X4. I have been dealing with a number of serious issues and been on a number of boards, none of which indicate that, aside from the availability of the patches, there is any significant improvement in X5. Among the lingering issues are the 4g error (borland, but it could be fixed - the patch, by the way, does not necessarily work on W7) and the persistent pdxregcln at startup, which can be fixed fairly easily.

In the status bar you should see an explaination of what compile error occured.  Probably something related to the object Enter_Unit not being visible since you are using the .value property I am assuming that this is an object on the form.  If the object is not within the visible containership tree you can't reference it directly.  Probably the object Enter_Unit is contained within a tableframe or other object not directly visible to the pushbutton.  You will probably will need to add to the containership path to address this field.  Look in the paradox help concerning containership and watch the status bar.

You can set the date format in the BDE Administrator or directly in Paradox.

Tips and Tricks

Be aware that not all keystrokes can be handled by synergy. In particular, ctrl+alt+del is not handled. However, synergy can convert ctrl+alt+pause into ctrl+alt+del on the client side. (Synergy must be configured to autostart when the computer starts on the client for this to work on the Windows NT family.) Some non-standard keys may not work, especially "multimedia" buttons, though several are correctly handled.

I have the fix for Windows y 32, but cannot find IDAPI32.dll in any of the usual folders, and Windows 7 search, which is dicey at best, turns nothing up. Nor can I find the .dll cited in the registry. Any explanations? Insufficient disk space warning (4 gb error) is stopping a number of things. I have the patch and want to apply it.---jlockley

Hi Dan, Thaks for the quick reply.  After spending several hours on this and seeking help here I identified the problem.  The format is held in a table in the application's database.  When the form is opened the existing format is overwritten.  It turns out that all I had to do was change the format string in the database and voila. I am not a Paradox programmer and inherited this system so my profound apologies for being so slow.  Now I have found this site though, I am sure to be back with more questions. Many thanks regards Shaun

  WTG, Mike, that is so awesome!!  Congrats to you and everyone at Prestwood IT!  Joy

Are you talking about data displaied in the table or data displaied in the form.  I created a table with a number field with the format set to general.  The field bound to this field was set to the same format.  I was able to enter 16 digit numbers and have them displaied in the form.  Check to see that the data in the table isnt defined as a longint.

Thanks!

When I try to run the form it opens in edit mode and the line below is highlighted sStock = Enter_UNIT.value Nothing other than that.

Hi Daniel, I've seen some of your posts before, but thanks for the intro.  My experience isn't unlike yours. Before Delphi, I was coding mostly in C and C++; also client-server systems. I attended a show in San Francisco where Borland was handing out pre-release disks of Delphi 1. I installed it and started playing.  I wasn't eager to learn a new language, but once I saw the power of Delphi's RAD environment, and OOP without pointers galore, I never looked. Seriously. I haven't written a line of C or C++ since. Delphi's been very good to me. Times change, though, and we're getting more and more calls for Web applications, so I'm now deep into Visual Studio and .NET. There's much to like about this newer technology, but Delphi still feels like "home." Wes

Trying create push button form for query. coding below: I get an error. Highlighting the line: sStock = Enter_UNIT.value Any assistance as to where my error is would be appreciated. method pushButton(var eventInfo Event),  var,   sStock  String,   qryFhistory Query,   tvAnswer  TableView,  endVar  sStock = Enter_UNIT.value  qryFhistory = Query        ANSWER: :PRIV:ANSWER.DB    FLEET.UTILIZATION.db | MODEL  | UNIT        | SERIAL NUMBER   |,           | Check  | ..~sStock.. | Check       |  EndQuery  executeQBE(qryFhistory),  tvAnswer.open(":priv:answer.db"), endmethod

Note to Hendrix: You and may others are in the same boat. I have found a few programs which claim to be able to extract object as well as text data, but none have succeeded. Tony McGuire was developing this solution for graphics, which he concluded were stored in binary files onhttp://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1189318  I haven't gave it a quick run for documents, but I didn't have time to play with it.  var, tc   tcursor, img  image, bn   binary, endvar, , tc.open(":alias:images.db"), scan tc :,   img=tc."fieldname" ; field containing graphic,   img.writetofile("path\\imagename.ext") ; .ext likely .jpg/.gif/.etc, endscan, tc.close() Another clever Mac User suggested this work around: http://tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1668297 Mike Prestwood, if you are addressing the issue, I too would like to hear about it.
