I am new to corel paradox.
     i need to trim a field in the corel paradox 8 report. But when i
open the report and goto design mode, i can't find anything that can
let me trim that field.

Just wondering if anyone has had any problems upgrading a Pdox9 standalone with
the Office 2000 SPs?
Thanks.

my problem: is there any posibility to search and replace inside a string?
Search an replace the whole string is no problem, but i want to search and
replace only the part of a string:
e.g. the name of a street:

Microsoft Excell, or Quickbooks have a nice feature. They try to remember
the last ... similar entries.... in a column etc...and recall it when your
keystrokes tend to be similar...., but will not comit the values unless you
press the Return Key..

I've been handed some company database files that are about 10 years old,
and asked if I can extract the information contained therein.  Nobody is
left in the company who knows anything about them, not even which
application was used.

We have an application that uses Delphi 1 with the BDE 2.5. We
distribute the Borland Database Engine with the standard setup
provided by Borland (files dated 31/7/95). We have used this for years
without a problem but we now have one client who cannot install the

We have a small network of three workstations and one server where our
Paradox 8 database is on. We need to bring in a temporary employee to
help enter some data for two months. I remember someone saying some
time ago that it is a bad idea to have a server also be a workstation.

I've just installed Paradox 4.0 on a computer running Win XP.
For "installed" I mean I copied the whole PDOX40 directory.
The applications I tested work good, but none of them can print reports.
Any hint?

I am completely lost!
I created a simple app in Pdox9 which works well in a standard NT /
W2K / W98 environment.
Unfortunately the users have converted to a W2K Terminal server

Entering a alphanumeric field which is not blank selects the value. To
append something at the end of the value i need to click at the end. If
press the right arrow nothing happens.

I have a single user application . Runs fine. I try to make it multyuser and
I don't seem to figure it out.
I have set the local share to True the Net Directory to a Net Directory and
every user has a different private directory.

I have tried and spent a great amount of time trying to share a database in
a network. If I open any of the tables in the data directory all tables are
locked by that user or instance  and I cannot open any other table from
anywhere else. The error is : Database in use ..must set ...

I should have known how to figure this out but I am missing something.
I can' open shared files on a network drive.  It previously worked Ok
from Pdox 8 or 9 on WinNT but I no longer have the machines to check the
settings.  It works ok from pdox 7 on Win 3.1 and from PdoxDos 4.5 ...

I need to transfer my Paradox tables to MySQL on our web server.
Does anybody know a tool, that enables direct (or indirect) conversion
of the data and the structure of a Paradox database to SQL statements,
that can be read from MySQL 4.0.14?

Sorry about the thread my grandson closed it out by mistake.  If you can
remember the code I sent it is a completion code ending by posting the answer
to a field in the present db, which it does quite well.....I am blanking on
