Paradox Setup, Vista, etc. Topic

I have used posts to this board in the past to resolve this issue, but recently installed WPOX5 on Windows7 machine and tricks that worked in the past on Windows XP do not appear to work in Windows7. I have cleared all of the registry entries of PdxRegCl and have disabled the Registry Cleaner in the start up of msConfig, but next time I start Paradox, Windows recongifures it and all of the registry entires reappear and the RegistryCleaner is back in the startUp. I cannot retain the working directory that was set in the last session and all of the established ALIASES are lost. Any assistance would be appreciated.  

We've got about 15 client machines and have to start upgrading XP to Windows 7 64 bit. I've been working on Windows 7 32 bit without trouble (except the crash whenever I try to close without saving a new script). Has anyone successfully made this work? Did it work out of the box or did you have to you have to use XP mode?

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") ....

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We migrated from using a run of the mill Windows XP box as a server to Windows Server 2012; one of the applications we use is a simple 3 table database which stopped working the moment the files were being accessed from the new server. We could see data but trying to add anything would result in a Lock Time Out error. I discovered that if I remove Referential Integrity from the detail table structure, and just assign it through the data model on the form, everything works. Would it be OK to leave it like that? or would it be somehow dangerous for the integrity of the data? Could the problem have come from some setting on the server? The person who installed the server for us doesn't think so but I'm not sure he is as familiar with Windows 2012 Server as I thought. For the time being I will be monitoring the data and checking that nothing is lost. Any suggestions? Thanks

Does not start any more (PDXWIN32.exe). Only see a fast Flash of Paradox Initial Screen. Uninstalled and Instaled again, but still does not start. Other apps from the Corel WordPerfect Package. start Ok , On another PC with Paradox 10 it works ok after the Creators Update., Has anybody this problem?

Hi and thanks for any support, Have a databas on Paradox 7 . The original designer has passed. After any help at all on ammending 2 values withoin the database . Have upgraded from XP through Vista and then 7 (32 bit) and programme still works. How do i ammend a value eg the VAT is at 20%(say change to 21% as a test)If we use design viewer to open up VAT calc 17.5% is shown (which is obviously a default value) you can put in a new value and it evens prompts the change but nothing changes in effect. Please please please not an sql expert but windows knowledge above average . Tried using Paradox editior no good. Apparently the original designer used tools and did about 4 steps to effect the change .  Any advice appreciated.2nd question should we upgrade to Paradox 9 or 10. ? to make life easier in the future

My paradox 7 was used to work properly on Win 10. After recent win 10 upgrade, it won't work at all. Is there anyone can kindly provide any advice? Thank you very much!

Hi, has anyone had a chance to try Paradox  9 or 10 with beta versions of Windows 7?

I seems to have successfully loaded Paradox 10 (from WPO 2002). However, I am having problems in the data model. 1.) The table lables are not entirely readable 2.) Linking tables is doable, except that te screen gets "smudgy." If I drag the DM window down and back up, the image is clear. Loading the windows help program from MS did not work, but I haven't given this much energy and am not sure that I was doing it properly.

I installed paradox 10 on win 7 on many workstation/nodes and have not had this problem i just did a paradox 11 on win 10 last week with no problem. i name aliases (i have 5) / browse path/ keep new/ save as....works fine until i close paradox and reopen evertime i close paradox and reopen, it goes back to default..  I open alias manager and  says no database in use in upper right hand corner..... i set to open paradox as administrator still same problem i uninstalled paradox try again with same results. What do i need to do to fix... Thanks

Is there a way to force the settings (developer preferences, etc) to save.   PDOX 11 on Win 10  & Win 7,  reset everytime PDOX is closed. Clean WIN & machine presents the same issue
