I'm trying to pop up a confirmation dialog box in a Windows Forms app, but I keep getting an error at compile time. Here's the code snippet: using namespace System::Windows::Forms; . . . int Form1::myMethod(void) { . . . if...

I have a datagrid and a means of inserting a record into it using separate fields and an insert button. When I insert a record, it goes to the last row of the datagrid, although its sorted position would be the first row. If the user then clicks the delete button (template column in the...

I've noticed in several different scenarios over the last few years that when data is updated through a TCursor in OPAL, it may take hours for the change to become apparent in other instances of the application referencing the same tables. In earlier cases this was difficult to see because it's...

I have a datagrid with a button in a template column. I want the button to open a dialog box to prompt the user for a value. The value is then used in the aspx.vb (code behind) file. To pop up the dialog box, I use the following: Sub DataGrid1.ItemDataBound(...)...

I have a field I'm trying to update in objectPAL but it won't change. No error message is generated. The field is a link between an ORDERS table and a packing list (PL) table. It keeps track of which line item in the order a particular line item on the PL fulfills. When someone edits the...

I've got a datagrid with a HyperLinkColumn in it. What I want to do is take a part number (in another column) and link to an image of the part by adding .jpg to the end of it. I'm using "/images{0}.jpg" as the URL format string. The problem is that the result I get has the part number padded...

I'm using a web form in MS Visual Studio 6.0 to view a list of specifications related to a particular part number. The specification files are in one table, and the mapping from part number to filename is in another. I filled a dataset with a JOIN in the SELECT statement and filtered the files...

My application does a bit of monitoring and status reporting to the sysadmin via the paradox "mail" object. This was all invisible to the user, until I started installing Outlook 2003. Now every time Paradox tries to send an email, the user gets a popup asking if it's OK. Does anyone know a...

I just noticed a problem which has me rather concerned. We use a second instance of our application for test and development. I recently wrote some code to automatically dump all of the table structure info for both instances and compare them, and found that it reports differences for many...

I'm very new to SQL server and got myself into trouble that I can't seem to get out of because I don't even know the terminology, where the relevant admin tools are, etc. A hard drive crash forced me to recover my Win2003 SBS Server using Automated Recovery. Ever since then I'm not getting...

I've seen references to formatted memos for some time and finally got around to taking a look. How the heck do you enter formatting info? E.g. make a word bold? Does it only work through the RTF import/export calls? Is there a toolbar or 3rd-party editor window I can link in? I tried the...

Here's a good one: I have a table that appeared to have lost the first 278 records. When I discovered the records were missing, I added them back from a backup of the table. I then opened my application and ran code which recalculated a balance (the table is an inventory ledger). The...

Can anyone explain when and why I would need to explicitly lock records and tables in PAL? I've seen a number of posts here on specific record locking issues, but I don't understand when Paradox does it automatically and when I need to do it. I manage a multiuser inventory application that has...

I'm trying to call a DLL routine which calculates the MD5 message digest on a file. To test the DLL I put two fields and a button on a form. In one field you type a filename. When you press the button, the DLL routine gets called, passes the filename, and also passes a string by reference to...
