I have a customer that insists on continuing to use Paradox. We have the files stored on a file server that has a share that is mapped to all users workstations as a drive. It has been working fine for years. Recently, we migrated the server to from 2008 R2 to 2016. We now have users complaining about the application locking up especially if inactive for a while. I'm wondering if anyone has an ideas to prevent this from happening? Thanks, Jeff

I have two issues, possibly connected First, my properties toolbar will not display when using the QBE editor?   All other toolbars are working.  PdxRegCleaner is turned off(deleted).  Tried the display, reset, etc options on the toolbar dialog with no luck Second, The following code used to work,   but no longer does. if tb.create("Report Options") then, tb.addButton(ToolbarFileCluster, ToolbarButtonPush, MenuControlClose,BitmapCancel, "Close") tb.addButton(ToolbarModeCluster, ToolbarButtonPush,MenuFilePrint , BitmapPrint, "Print"), tb.addButton(ToolbarModeCluster, ToolbarButtonPush,MenuFilePrinterSetup, BitmapViewSource, "Print Setup") tb.addButton(ToolbarVCRCluster, ToolbarButtonPush,MenuReportPageFirst, BitmapFirstPage, "First"), tb.addButton(ToolbarVCRCluster, ToolbarButtonPush,MenuReportPagePrevious, BitmapPrevPage, "Previous") ....

I am sure that at one time I had a script or form that would give me a listing of all the files in a directory, including subdirectories. (Perhaps it was just on my todo list.) It would, of course, have involved enumFileList and recursive routines. I would appreciate if anyone might point me to such a utility. I am not finding what I need otherwise out on the internet. Thanks, NK

I am starting up a new 2016 RDS server to replace a 2008 R2 Terminal server running a Paradox 11 App. I am having trouble using the M.SendDLG() command, which runs fine on The 2008R2 server. I get a windows error about the default email client and to open Outlook and set it as default I have opened outlook and set it as default I have also set it in control panel default programs and through settings default programs Both servers are running Outlook, the 2016 server where the problem is occuring is running Outlook 2019. There is also a Paradox errormessage that simply says "Main".  I think thats the errorShow for the M.SendDLG() Anyone else run into this?

Inexperienced user here.  Self-taught, and smart enough to know that I don't know much. Paradox 10 running on Windows 10 I spent weeks developing a paradox form and application for a project I'm doing, then the form simply stopped loading. So I did it all again, spending weeks again. Then it stopped loading again. I can open all other forms in the same project, all tables, and all datamodels.  The form in question worked fine when I had it open last, designing and testing it.  Now it won't load.  All I get is the timer circle spinning, and it won't stop until I go to Task Manager and shut Paradox down.  No error message at all.

Hi All. I have a very strange occurence happening with Paradox 9. The working directory is all set correctly and tables working spot on. If I look at table view all data correct and up to date but when I look at the tables in the folder via windows explorer they ar over 5 years old ?? I can table view, re structure and save as and this would work but i cant see where paradox is getting this other information from. Could this be a registry error or windows problem? Thanks in anticipation... Andy

Hi: Just starting using a new laptop and would like to get either Paradox 9 or 10 on it. I have the install disks, but was wondering where I can get the service packs for those versions since it has been 15+ years since they were available. Thanks!

Purchasing a new WS and unable to find my Paradox 9 disks from Corel Wordperfect office 200 Professional to perform new install. What newer versions of Paradox can I purchase which would be compatible with my older version and not have functionality issues with the Databases and queries, reports that I have already created.

Is it possible to use a variable as a resulting value? Or is it only possible to use a variable as filter.  I would like the value in a variable to be put in the resulting column "DATETIMECHANGED".
