I'm trying to pass a date parameter into the Fill method of a tableadapter and I'm getting an error message stating "cannot convert from 'string' to 'System.DateTime?'. Here's my code... using MIS_Database.Schemas.Rpt3YrsDataSetTableAdapters; using System.Data; namespace MIS_Database.Schemas {...

Hi Tony, Let me start by saying I love Paradox... it's what I know. We're not looking for something b/c we're not happy with Paradox and it's features. My boss just wants us to move towards a software package that will continue to get updates.. you know roll with the times. He's worried that...

We currently use Paradox for our database programming, but as we have heard Paradox will soon become obsolete. I understand it may continue to work, but as far as we know, no company is going to continue enhancing it. What we're trying to figure out now is which direction to head. Does anyone...

Hi, I don't know why Paradox and filters don't agree, but I have learned to NOT use them in Paradox. We recently had to remove all filters from Paradox forms and reports due to problems when the program is shared by more than one user. It's like the filters get confused?? Our work-around was...

Well Tony... I do have a very complicated data model for one of the reports. It looks something like this: table1 -------->> table2 (one to many) | | | |---> table3 (one to one) | |--> table4 -----> table5 (one to one) (one to one) On top of that, I do have a couple...

Lance, I'm having a similar problem with a Paradox application that is being used via a Citrix server. In addition to the Paradox .lck files being in the private directories of the users, there are also .out files and some weird looking .db files. They typically look like this: _QB7345.db...

I had that same problem, but when I added the following code the extra page didn't print anymore. rpi.panelOptions = PrintClipToWidth I hope this helps you. Amy

Hi Tony, I checked the form and it doesn't have any filters set, so I think it must be something else. This is only happening on one user's computer, so I think it must be an error associated with Paradox. I have tried totally uninstalling Paradox off that machine, and then installing a fresh...

If you're asking what I think you're asking, it sounds like you need to view the properties of the field in question. Then select the Define Values button on the General tab and add the new values to the list.

Thanks for the reply Tony, but I found what I needed using the ActiveX control for List Box. I was able to use the multiselect feature of it and from there I captured the values selected and made the field in question equal to those values. It works quite well. There was some coding to make...

I have a drop-down list, but the users want to be able to select more than one of the items from the drop-down list. Is this possible? For example, I want the user to be able to hold down the CTRL key and click on all the items in the list that are relevant for that record. Any help would be...

Has anyone ever seen this error message in Paradox? An attempt was made to access an unnamed file past its end. I don't know why it's all of a sudden coming up on a computer of existing paradox programs. Thanks, Amy

The watermark is a calculated field in which I'm combining the data from 2 other fields together. It will be a different description for each record. What I've done for now which seems to work, but is not my favorite option, is to use the substr() method and break up my data in between the...

Is there a way to create a watermark on a report in Paradox? The only way I know to create the watermark effect is to change the font color to "Gray". My problem is that on the report I have a table frame that will have many records. Each of those records needs to display the watermark that...

Hi Lance, Thanks for all your help. I don't think it's my user account, because I have administrator privileges. I also don't think it's the drive being out of space, because I have the .cfg file saved on a network drive. Your third idea is possible because I'm working on a file that many...
