printerSetCurrent causing Paradox to hang
A couple of months ago we have started having issues with printerSetCurrent causing Paradox to hang. When this happens I have been telling my user base to reboot and then try again. Printing works for awhile, then it will hang up again. Has anyone else run into this? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Gary

Run Vietual Machine on Linux
Couple of options: 1.Run Dosemu in Linux. 2. Run older version of windoze in VMWare.  VMWare works great on RedHat and other Linux versions. Option 2 works best. Hapoy Computing!

graphic readfromfile
I have used graphic readfromfile for years successfully in WinXP, Win7 and, until recently, Win10.  All of a sudden, I get "Cannot read file".  It had worked perfectly until a Win10 update.  Corel support is unresponsive.  Desperate at this point.  Does anyone have a work-around suggestion? Thanks. Bob

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
