I have a new workstation (Sony Dual-core - 1 gig of ram, XP Pro) that is significantly slower than all our other systems. There is a delay when arrowing between records and a general sluggishness. I re-installed Paradox 8 and then tried 9 without any improvements. I copied the CFG file from a...

I am trying to automate the process of printing a PDF file for a quote and emailing it to a customer. I figured out how to do the mail portion, but I would like to create the PDF behind the scenes and add it as an attachment to the message. I have seen posts on sending keystrokes for PDF...

Paradox is behaving very strangely for one user at our company. I have a summary form that lists some tables generated in the private directory. When he moves his mouse over the records they disappear! I run the same form on my computer and it works fine. We are running windows XP Pro and...

Thanks Lance - I tried this and am still getting similar results. The modified record is above the first record shown in the table frame and the only way I can see it is if I scroll up with the mouse. I am making the changes to the record through code attached to the "newvalue&quot...

I have a tableframe that I am editing (adding/changing records) with objectpal. The table is keyed and if I add a record that flys away to the top of the tableframe, the only way I can see it is if I manually use the vertical scroll bar with the mouse. I have tried various combinations of...

Works great! Thanks for your help Mac

I will be changing a single record. When the user wants to add a new part# to the current quote, they will choose the generic part# from a drop-down list and click a button to insert it. I then copy the information from this generic part number to temp tables and open a form displaying only this...

The data that I am using will be consistant. I want to have a database of generic part numbers that the user will pick options for (from a radio button). When the user chooses an option, the placeholder text (such as *M for material) in the generic part number will be replaced with the specific...

Does anyone know of a slick way to substitute text in a text field? I want to search for a specific set of characters and replace them with a different set of characters. Thanks!

This may be too basic of a solution, but I have had problems with report output when I use too small of fonts. Sounds crazy, but if my fonts are below about 8pt I sometimes get unpredictable output.

Thanks Langley - I tried this method and it worked, but...I am trying to calculate the sum of qty * cost (sum of the products) - doesn't this method provide the summary of qty and the summary of cost?

I have a table that I want to do some summary calculations on. It is a detail table with multiple records for each Master Part# and the corresponding quantities and costs for the items that make up the master part. I want to create a table that has one record for each Master Part and contains...

I inadvertently put V7 - I am actually using Paradox 8 (V8.00.302). I just tried the patch on the corel.com site, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Any form that I am working on is affected if I have a code window open. If I close the code window then the form will toggle between edit/run...

I am using Paradox 7 and am becoming irritated with the amount of time it takes when I switch between viewing a form and editing it. It isn't a problem if I don't have any objectPal code windows open, but if I do it may take as long as a minute to switch to edit mode. It doesn't seem to matter...

Thanks for the tips - here is the code I am using: If not tcM.open(&quot;:ESI:Q_Main.db&quot;) then msginfo(&quot;Error&quot;,&quot;Unable to open TC on Q_Main&quot;) return endif criteria[&quot;Date&quot;] = &quot;> date(startDate.value), < date(endDate.value)&quot; If not...
