Thanks Steven for the reply! I purchased a license for the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Pro yesterday. Now I'm having trouble getting it to load onto the new machine (Error Code: 0x8007025D - Something about WIndows cannot install required files??). I'm on the call back schedule for a Microsoft Tech to contact me later today for resolution. Anyway - I really appreciate the information you provided and I'll post a note about my progress after I get over the OS installation issue......
> Probably I'll have to run this way, the problem is that in the printer interface the screen is all in English, and the application is in Portuguese.
I got the notice that you posted this, but it does not show here yet
if there is a language issue, that might be part of the problem.. can you insert little temporary msgInfo messages in the printing process, to see how far it gets? to determine the specific line it fails on?
if the path name is too long, doesn't matter which way you shorten it.. the printer name, you are best to actually be a shared printer, and shorten the network name
Thanks Jay, but you misunderstood the question. I dont need the text, I need the designer to open and display for a query that was pre-designed and saved.
In OPAL,
var
Q Query
endvar
q.readfromfile("c:\\temp\\somequery.qbe")
; now, i want
q.displaydesigner() or q.restructure(), or menuaction.newquery(q) or any other of things I haven't found
thanks,
Jeff
Help!!! I am a new Paradox user and I am not a programmer or a techie. I've been working here for 6 months and have been able to figure out how to create basic forms and reports but I'm trying to find training or manuals that will get me to the next level. Any suggestions? Thanks.
We are currently running Paradox 9 on four PC's with Windows 7 Pro OS without issue. Because Windows 7 will no longer be supported after Jan 2020; I'm going to give Windows 10 Pro a try on a single client machine on our small network (starting from scratch with an empth HD). I first need to decide on which Windows 10 Pro version to purchase (i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit). Also; any information / advise to help in this process would be much appreciated.
new problems for me with windows 8, my copy of paradox seems to no n longer want to connect to my printer and the program shuts down when I try to use. All other programs still print, just not paradox 11. I also get An App Crash note of Paradox32.exe. 32 bit computer ? when I try to print. can someone point me in the direction to fix.
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!
Hi!I have an application for driving school management, and on most computers where it is installed, from windows xp to 10, when I press a button to choose another printer, the paradox stops running.thank you for your support

I just set up Paradox on a new system running the latest ver of Win 10 (1809). My reports on the new system required a complete revision of the fonts used in the report. I've been using the same ones for years and the fonts have always migrated to the new system. This time, however, the fonts are not available in the properties, font drop down for any of the fields in my report. The fonts are installed in the usual place and are available to the other myriad programs. I installed Paradox from an X9 disc which I know doesn't make a difference. I even uninstalled Paradox from the system and reinstalled using the X8 disc in the hope that it would make a difference. It, of course, did not. I am using other fonts that provide a similar impact. But, not the same.
Any body have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I have never found just the right combination of events for the following situation.
In the following argument.....
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox\Programs\pdxwin32.exe" -c -q -pE:\OutsourceWork\V11\priv -wE:\OutsourceWork\V11 _stub.fsl
Paradox will launch and display the _stub.fsl form (no problem)
When the form opens I want specific code to run AFTER the form is fully displayed.
Two question
1. How do I WAIT until the form is fully displayed
2. What event should I put the code in?
My current problem is that there are 5-10 function calls that take place, each displaying results in a list on the screen. And regardless of how many SLEEP() I put in the thing it will not display the form until about halfway through the code execution. Sometimes only flickering onto the screen briefly before closing.
Many thanks!
hello, This must be an oversight(or Alzhiemers) on my part.
How do I open a query using ObjectPAL and display it in the query editor so that I can modify?
For a table I do the following
var, t string, endvar
t = editTableList ; (THIS IS A NAME FROM LIST OF TABLE NAMES)
dlgRestructure (t)

Does anyone know if
DURING the install of Paradox (v11), whether any paths are saved in some hidden/buried config file?
This is the issue. I have a user (Win 10, PDOX 11) whose software is not acting normally. while instigating I decided to run table repair. However, when table repair launches it throws an error regarding the ERRORS.DB table in the blahblah\pdxpriv folder. Only the path it is barfing up is not the the private folder that is set/configured in paradox. Wondering where it is finding this erroneous path.
Thanks
jeff
depending on how you install and how you configure the bde, there can be any number of entries in the registry.. with p11, there are also the potential conflicts of not clearing that stupid reg cleaner thing from the machine and the registry.. what you see is NOT always what you get
I have a form field which I would like to use to modify a formatted memo table field without giving the user direct access to the underlying table. I can get the table field to display in the form field, but when I try to update it the formatting doesn't seem to work. (tab and enter keys take me out of the form field). I have tried both undefined and defined field creation and the only difference is that I have to press F9 when entering text into the defined field version. How do I enter formatted text into this field?
OK. The Shift F2 makes it work like I thought it should. I'm sure that that is somewhere in the reference manual and I've been glossing over it. I'll need to include a text reminder on the screen above the field in order to have the users update the field properly, :-) but that's no biggie. Thanks for the help.
In PDOX 8, the mouse wheel had no impact on the paradox environment, It just didn't work.
Now in PDOX 11, the mouse wheel is allowing users to scroll off of the record they should be Adding/Editing. The user is then focused on a blank screen. Is there a way to trap that event? I dont see any clues in the help doicument when it comes to scrolling mouse wheels.
Currently I use the KeyPhysical event to prevent users from using the arrow keys to move from record to record, but does not prevent the MOUSE action
I need to use the contents of a parameter to pull a field's contents.
Visual FoxPro uses the & character for that sort of thing. Is there a Paradox equivalent?
Edit: Fount it - it's called dereferencing, eg
sField = "Name" ;Assign a field name to the variable., view(tcCustomer.(sField));Dereference the variable using parentheses.
