Trying to add a numeric field and an alphanumeric field in a query. Example, a table has two fields. Field1 is a number and field2 is a string. Trying to use the calc operator with example elements does not seem to work. Snytax I used is, , Field1 Field2, f1 f2, calc f1+f2, , Of course f1 and f2 are set as example elements. Using Paradox 9 I get no error messages, the query simply does not run. What do I need to change?, Thanks for any help.

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

Hi, I have a form where I would like to have a Graphic field displayed. The table has 2 fields 1 of which is the graphic field. I have tried to Paste the graphic into this field but nothing is saved. I use another table where graphics are saved and used on the same form with no problem. Is there a limitation on BMP size or any other specification which needs to be ahered to? Cheers Bill

Our entire user base is running 11.0.0.676 on Windows 10. I believe this is the latest version of Paradox. Today, there is 1 user whose Paradox app is hanging when executing  the command printerSetCurrent. Rebooting does not correct the issue. code snippet: stPrnName = "Win2PDF" if printerSetCurrent(stPrnInfo) then ; THIS LINE HANGS,      setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "PDFFileName", pathstring , regKeyCurrentUser),      setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "file options", 2, regKeyCurrentUser),      setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "persistent", "0", regKeyCurrentUser), else,      errorShow("Failed to make Win2PDF the current printer"), endIf Has anyone run into similar issues with printerSetCurrent? Thanks, Gary

Hi. I wonder if anyone could help me write a code that allows control from Paradox onto the display screen that shows the price of the item entered throughyou. the bar code reader. Thank

Anyone know how to programatically show/hide columns in a table frame control?    Mind you,  I am not talking about the tableview object. Thanks!!!

I recently converted an app from 7.5 to paradox 11 and I am finding when entering Memo fields  with @ and . in them automatically do a mail.sendDLG() opening a new email message with the contents of the memo field as the TO: field. Does anyone know how to control this? Thanks

I have a search firld on a form which works fine except I need to change all characters to upper case. This is the code. It used to work but something has changed. var, pn string, endvar doDefault pn = self.value, pn = pn.upper() PTMPTNO.setRange( pn, pn+"z" ) Cheers

Is it possible not to have to press F9 to start editing fields on a form? The form I am working on ties the fields to a Paradox db table.

I would like to print the current form from a button. This can be done in objectPal by performing postaction(DataPrint) or action(DataPrint) When the postaction(or action) is performed, the printer dialog box pops up. I would like to perform this print action without the user having to click the Print button on the printer dialog box. I have tried using sendKeys with different options. Do you know of a way to print a form without any further using interaction other than clicking the button I have added on the form? Thanks

I read a short article that says in order to not see the desktop, and only my forms, I need to use app.hide() The problem is that when I try it, I get syntax errors.  I've searched through the boards and through the ObjectPal guide that I have, but I have not been able to find out exactly how to do this (what code and where) I also cannot seem to find where in the Object Explorer it is indicated whether a form is a child or a dialog.  I know this seems simple, but its very frustrating.  Thank you for your help.

I need to create a query using the QBE that will list all records from table A not in table B. (A not-in query), , Thanks

I am absolutely brand new to programming in Paradox. I want to make a Main form. For ease of discussion, I just want to create a form which I have done that has one button. I want it to opne a form I already have linked to a table. I get a syntax error. I cannot find any build as you go coder. I have this and it gives me a syntax error: method action(var eventInfo ActionEvent), open("TestReview Form"), endMethod The form is in the same working folder as this Main form. Does anyone know what the syntax is to simply open a form? No parms passed, just open the form in data entry mode.
