Leap year date of birth
To all, I have a report that includes dates of birth when printed.  I have 4 digit year set as true in the BDE. For one particular dob (2/29/1996), the date of birth prints as 2/29/2996!  In the table, it is 2/29/1996.  This is a leap year birthday.  Although obviously not correct, it concerns my users. This report has printed tens of thousands of dates of birth and this is the first one they have noticed is wrong. Any thoughts? Greg

Index out of Date
Hi all, I have run Paradox 8 on a Server 2003 for over a decade using RDP sessions with dozens of users.  I upgraded to Paradox 11 and Windows 10 clients.  All still fine.  This week, though, I migrated my database from a Server 2003 to a Server 2016.  All programs run fine but I am getting multiple index out of dates each day when multiple users save data in the tables.  So far, I have: 1.  Disabled write cache on drives 2.  Excluded database directories and c:\netdir directory from Windows Defender scanning 3.  Edited LanmanServer and LanmanWorkstation to add keys 'enableoplocks'=0 and 'disableoplocks'=1 4.  Local share on BDE=true 5.  All sessions map to the same c:\netdir for control file and use same path to database tables Any help from those who have succeeded with a Server 2016 hosting tables in an RDS environment would be greatly appreciated.

Logical Indexes
To all, As I migrated from Paradox 8 to Paradox 11, I noticed that I was not able to recreate one of my secondary indexes in the newer version.  The secondary index included a numerical field and then a logical field.  The logical (boolean) field was not listed as one I could add in the table restructure dialog box.  I went back to version 8 and added it.  Is there another way to do this so that I can retire my older version. Greg

from the help "You can define a secondary index on any field or group of fields in a table except memo, formatted memo, binary, OLE, graphic, logical," in general, I use number/integer/short field with 1/0 as the indicator values.. 1 is true, 0 is false.. probably cuz I go all the way back to the beginning of PdoxDOS, and there was no logical field :-)
