The book says that the on-line version is searchable, but the only search capability, I've found is for the message boards. How do I search the book?

I developed a website in ASP, using javascript, vbscript, SQL and Paradox 9. However, when i try to update certain fields from a form in my site, I get an "index out of date" error in Paradox 9. Index Version does not match table version. Secondary Index AssignOrders is out of date, Secondary Index StatusListing Index is out of date, Secondary Index OName is out of Date, etc. (Index Option is Maintained)Can someone help?, thank you,, jc

I have greatly appreciated the ability to view this book, especially considering it's scarce availbility. This book has saved my job. I only heard of and started working in Paradox 10 a month ago and thanks to the online book I may have a new career angle. I have always been an administrative assistant and loved to toy with Access databases, so I was given a chance to be a systems analyst and just solely work on redesigning a database. To my horror, when I was told it was a Paradox database, I didn't panic YET, I went looking for a Paradox book then I paniced. I then went online and found Prestwood. I'm also VERY please with the quick responses to messages posted here. Thanks, Prestwood!

I'm new to ObjectPal and all object-based languages (I worked with Pdx Pal/Dos for several years). It's hard on me but I'm chipping away. Some help with an example from the book (Prestwood, Power Programming) would be much appreciated. I downloaded the code for the examples from this website, and put the example "M-enter.fsl", referred to in Chapter 9, into the Samples folder. It works as advertised, specifically showing the message "This button closes the form" whenever the mouse moves over the button. But I cannot find, within Object Explorer, where the code for the "mouseEnter" and "mouseExit" methods & messages are entered, except in the text field of some boxes that do not seem to be involved with the button., , Can someone please give me a clue?, , Thanks -, , Mary

I have a similar problem. The report decides on what appears to be a random basis how much of a memo field will get printed. It happens whether the field is in a text box container or in a table frame. This is a serious problem to me, and I'm desperately hoping for an answer.

Is there an online version of the Power programming Book for Paradox 9? I would gladly pay for it if available.
