Based in part on information from this board, I bit the bullet and upgraded to WP Office Pro 2020 from Version 8. The installation went smoothly, but when I opened Paradox it was still Version 11. Comparing it to my laptop, it's exactly the same release, 11.0.0.676! I then uninstalled and reinstalled Paradox with the same result. Did I do something wrong? Is there a newer version of Paradox, and if so why don't the update program install it? If this is true, then Corel is ripping off customers — I could have saved $100 by purchasing the standard upgrade instead of the Pro version (Paradox being the only difference, I think). 

Having used Paradox 7 on win95 thru to win 98, XP, and Win7 using the compatability tab making it WinNT with SP4 all was well, i have just installed Win8 on a text machine, and installed Pdx 7 - sadly there is no compatability drop down for WinNT SP4 - so what do i do know. The program opens, but when i go to select my data source it is telling me (or rather not allowing me to select my database on account of the OK button being greyed out). When i open Pdx direct, and then go to the Alias Manager, to manually configure to select my d/base the OK button is still grayed out. Is it easy to upgrade to Corel Paradox 11 - or does it mean re-writing loads of stuff to allow the database to actually work.. Please help.. Luckily i still have (and my clients) still are using Windows 7 or lower. M!chael

Are you getting error messages during startup? Have you double checked the netdir setting in the BDE? What about the drive mapping of the Q drive on the Win7 PC?

I had a lovely kids’ story ready but had no idea how to publish it professionally. Then I found a trusted childrens publisher UK authors rely on, and they made everything simple and beginner-friendly. They helped me with editing, illustrations, cover design, and full publishing support. I also kept complete rights to my book and didn’t have to share royalties. If you want your children’s story published smoothly and beautifully, they’re the perfect team to work with!

We need to upgrade some machines from Win 7 to Win 10, and they need to be able to run Paradox 8. 

Will that work?

Is there a way to install from a CD to a machine with no CD drive?

Thanks. Gary

We have  been running Paradox 11 on Windows 7 for awhile. We have bought new Windows 10 pc‘s and are going through the configuration process. We have a Konica C658 printer. We are running into an issue where Paradox will not pick up the default printer preferences. For example, in the printer driver we have set Paper size = 14.5 x 11 Orientation = Portrait Print Type = 1-Sided Staple = Left Corner But when you print from Paradox, for example instead of Print Type = 1-Sided, we are getting 2-Sided. I know I can set some of these settings via code(I don‘t believe I can set it to staple). But I‘d rather not go back and change this on every form where I print reports. Has anyone run into issues with Paradox not picking up the printer preferences that are set on the printer driver? Oall other apps, such as the Microsoft Office apps, work fine. Thanks, Gary

Hello again, I need to create a filter for a report from a client list.  The records I want to filter have a string that's common in all the fields I want to filter.  I want to filter on that specific string using the filter function in the report.  I've tried several operators and either come up with nothing, everything, almost everything and then some or everything but.  I even tried the ..*** used in search strings within a table. I'm sure I'm missing something. Thanks, Karen kbalter@sierraonsite.com

Could someone give me some information as to how Paradox stacks up against a database called Progress.

I am new to research writing and preparing my paper for an ISI journal, but I am not confident about its quality. I worry about mistakes, structure, and review comments because I don’t know the rules well. The process feels confusing for a beginner like me. That’s why I started looking for ISI paper writing and publication support to review my work. Their professional guidance can improve the paper and help avoid rejection.

Does anyone have the Pardox developers edition 9.0 or later for sale?

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.  

new problems for me with windows 8,  my copy of paradox seems to no n longer want to connect to my printer and the program shuts down when I try to use.  All other programs still print, just not paradox 11.    I also get An App Crash note of Paradox32.exe.  32 bit computer ? when I try to print.   can someone point me in the direction to fix.  

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.

Hi, I have started look at distributing my program in the office.  I moved the Data tables to the Server, deleted the .NET file and changed the .Net file in the BDE. Forms, files and reports work but it is crazy slow. The desktops are Core I5 250GB Ram and the server is running Windows Server 2016 Does anyone have any ideas as to why it is so slow

When trying to establish a table lookup thru restructure. I get the message paradox has stopped working.  I get a debug option and close option.. if I take debug.. the program shuts down.  Anyone know of a solution to this?

Is there a way to force Paradox to open forms in the "fit width" mode? The font it uses otherwise is rather small and difficult to read. However, if I change it to "fit width," it reverts to 100% when I exit and restart the program. Thanks.

One of our users got a new pc this week.  He has some Excel pivot tables that are reading data from Paradox tables via an odbc connection.  Every time he tries to refresh the data, he gets an error message saying 'Could not open Paradox.net'.  From what I understand, Paradox.net is the DOS version of pdoxusrs.net.  I had the user send me the Excel file and the table it was trying to access and it worked fine for me after setting up the alias that he initially used when he built this pivot table. I had the user search his hard drive for a file called Paradox.net, and one did not exist.  Does anyone have any idea why it would be looking for this file? Thanks, Doug

I am trying to find Paradox 9 sp4 to try and fix printing report issue where paradox stops responding.  Anyone have a download link? Thanks
