Paradox Setup, Vista, etc. Topic

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!

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

Hello All, I am very new to Paradox and have a question from an IT support side, rather than the user side. Our business office purchased licenses and installations for Paradox 11 due to a form issue in the previous version of Paradox they were using. This office claims that in their old version of Paradox they could have 2 users edit the same form simultaneously, but then it "quit working." I installed Paradox 11 on a Windows 7 and Windows 10 desktop without issue during the installation. They can open their old forms and tables without issue, but get the error below when opening the same form. Is it possible to adjust a setting or modify the .NET file to allow for simultaenous form edits?

I want to learn how to expand my basic knowledge of writing queries in Paradox. My company's application operates on Paradox and I want to learn how to really manipulate the data available. I've been told that two books by Dan Ehrmann are good, but out of print. "Paradox Queries--The Basics" and "Paradox Queries--A Developer's Reference". If anyone has a lead on either of these I'd appreciate knowing., , Bob

I've been using Paradox from V4.0 through V9, relying on Mike Prestwood's books to get excellent results. , The pressure is on to convert or adopt to Access for future database/progamming, but I was always under the impression that Paradox was more stable, and overall a better product. If this is true, is there any chart or table available that compares the two, or at least some indication as to Paradox's strong points in relation to Access? This is a bit urgent, Thank you!

I am confused. On checking my version Number of Paradox 9, I find that it is earlier than the Initial Release. My Release Version No. is 9.0.0.368, , Any Answers?, , ------------------
