I will take a stab at it, Unfortunately,I am on vacation this week.
, send a a few sample records, as well as a rough count on how many records you will be searching. I will use that info to create something. Keep in mind, I have never done this, I only presume that I can do it, AND since I have a similar issue will give it a shot.

external connectivity issues (printing, MAPI email, etc) can change with the versions.. p11 is the same, but the suite is different, , also, if you're using full paradox, a runtime patch isn't related to using that
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.
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

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.
I need help. All of my Paradox 9 runtime users are getting the following error message after I upgraded 3 workstations to Windows 10. Not all workstations have been upgraded but now they all receive the following error message when attempting to login to Paradox... An error was triggered in the 'qlocate' method on an object of TCursor type....TCursor not opened. Our server is Windows 2012
Any help is appreciated.
F:\IDAPI\BDE\idapi.cfg
that way, they're all pointing to one file.. if you change anything, you only change it once
in THAT file, make sure it says the net file is in that same folder, too
Upgraded to Office 365 & got the LCAppPrint Initialized Failed error. Installed the Hotfix Runtime patch after un/reinstalling Paradox 11. Now, when i try to print, the program closes. Any ideas are welcomed. (Using Paradox for single user database & reports.)
external connectivity issues (printing, MAPI email, etc) can change with the versions.. p11 is the same, but the suite is different, , also, if you're using full paradox, a runtime patch isn't related to using that
When I try to export a database, ( File | Export ) I am getting a cryptic "invalid alias" message in the message bar. No further info. I must have screwed up my settings somewhere and cannot find what alias it is referring to. My :priv: and :work: aliases are working fine.
Cottage.. there is only one active cfg file at a time.. unless you're actually deploying multiple configurations, depending on which client/app you're working on, having more than one can create oppotunities for confusion
the first two, the "bars" configs, are for the toolbars.. yes, if they get hosed, they can be deleted
I have not done any script writing for many years and my memory isn't what it used to be.
In one of my scripts I have a msgQuestion that brings up a dialogue box. The default answer in the box is "Yes". Can I change it to "No" because that is the prevailing answer. Rarely do I need to select "Yes"
Mike's Paradox book has an excellent section in the back on using web servers with Object Pal. Is there more info out there that can explain how to use .HTT files in more detail, possibly more examples?
HI folks,
I have the following code with a form;
exportASCIIVar(":RSA:Mailing Emails.db",":RSA:Reports\\Temporary Mail List.csv", "\t","\"",False,True), , MsgInfo("Well Done","The E Mail List for "+s+" has been updated.")
S has been populated before this point, but I would like to replace "Temporary Mail List.csv" with a file name made up of the value of s, plus ".csv"
Does anyone have any suggestion?
s = ":RSA:Reports\\Temporary Mail List.csv"
exportASCIIVar(":RSA:Mailing Emails.db",s, "\t","\"",False,True)
if that's not what you meant, you'll have to explain differently
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.
