This might be far-fetched, but is there a utility available that I would be able to schedule a task or application to run that would rebuild Paradox 4.x or 5.0 tables on a weekly/monthly basis?

This would be quite handy to keep the tables in check.

troyu,

A free utility? No. None that I've ever heard of. Sundial Services ( is the closest I've seen, besides TUTILITY, of course.

However...if you have some Delphi skills, you might check out which offers a set of tUtility components that I've found very useful. Inexpensive and available with source.

Hope this helps....

How about a utility which will perform simple operations on a table, such as sorting? Same package?

If you are Pdox for DOS you can actually write a program to use Tutility to verify and rebuild your tables unattended. That what I did when I was doing Pdox DOS, a looooong time ago.

If you are using later versions of Pdox for Windows, you will have to buy or write your own tutility.
If you do Delphi, there are quite a few sharewares available. After checking over a dozen of them, I found tutil32d.zip worked for me.

Good Luck

Joe

I am using Paradox Version 5.0. Could a program be written for this version? I do have TULITY that was included with the product, but I would love to schedule something....

Yes, you can write a program in Pdox 5 to run Tutility automatically if you want. However, you do have to know how to make calls to Tutility’s functions, which is not very well documented.

No promises, let me see if I can dig up some of the codes I have.

As mentioned by Lance, has information on Tutility. Go to "New and improved Paradox Table repair tools" section and read TU_Words.doc. Although this is for Delphi, however, it should give you a good idea what is involved.
