Paradox Reports Topic

I have just re-installed my Paradox 11 on a Windowsx64 laptop and I cannot get it to print reports from Paradox reports themselves. However, they work perfectly if I call them up from a form in objectPAL. When I just try to print in a new Paradox sessionm I get a dialogue box that says: Printer interface setup error/ LCAppPrint Initialize failed!  Then Windows 10 just closes the program. I'm not all that good with finding out where my problem lies. Could anyone point me to some solution, please? Tony

Hi! I have an application for driving school management, and on most computers where it is installed, from windows xp to 10, when I press a button to choose another printer, the paradox stops running. thank you for your support

I just set up Paradox on a new system running the latest ver of Win 10 (1809).  My reports on the new system required a complete revision of the fonts used in the report.  I've been using the same ones for years and the fonts have always migrated to the new system.  This time, however, the fonts are not available in the properties, font drop down for any of the fields in my report.  The fonts are installed in the usual place and are available to the other myriad programs.  I installed Paradox from an X9 disc which I know doesn't make a difference.  I even uninstalled Paradox from the system and reinstalled using the X8 disc in the hope that it would make a difference.  It, of course, did not.  I am using other fonts that provide a similar impact.  But, not the same. Any body have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Karen

Upgraded to Office 365 & got the LCAppPrint Initialized Failed error.  Installed the Hotfix Runtime patch after un/reinstalling Paradox 11.  Now, when i try to print, the program closes.    Any ideas are welcomed.  (Using Paradox for single user database & reports.)

My client closed a large amount of jobs in November and cannot generate reports. The error is '#Record_band is too big'. They are able to use the same report but for a different time period. For example, reports from Jan thru July work. Is there a setting we can change that will accommodate a larger dataset?  Thanks!

Hi. About 7 users use Paradox in a shared environment. Today we saw a new error which we are having trouble resolving. We have backups. When the user opens a *.qbe using Paradox 11 the error is  "Cannot open : WORK:Invoice_Jobs Closed THIS year.qbe". Could not open query file. The same error dialog box reads "Do you want to replace: WORK:Invoice_Jobs Closed THIS Year.qbe in the". That message is truncated.

What can cause this error?

What files are necessary to restore? It seems there is a related *.rsl file and *.db file

What is the reference to "WORK:filename)? There is no WORK in the actual file name.

Some users access this file using an older version of Paradox. Those users see a different message: "Record_Band is too big to fit in report".

We don't do much Paradox support and have been directed here in the past. Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks! Tim tim@greatdivideit.com

Hello everybody, I hav a long running application of mine that has some reports (only landscape ones, as far as I can see) that have begun to show the dreaded message "Report layout settings (page size, paper orientation) have been changed"... Any hint on what can I do to make them behave properly again? I'm running PDX11 (X6 edition) and/or the latest Pdx Runtime 11... I've tried resetting the page size, both to printer specific page size (I'm in Italy so the standard page format is A4) and printer specific A4, to no avail. I've tried both the DynArray report.print and the ReportPrintInfo variant, they both do the same. I'm banging my head on the wall, but no idea seems to help! Thanks for any hint, Shores

Dear all,  I just got a paradox report on our legacy system - paradox 7 for windows. I need to find out what is the underlying data for the report. I opened the report in design mode and look at the data model. It has three tables, two of them linked. Two of them are priv table. I can find the two priv tables - one empty and the other one has data. how can I find which query makes the process? thanks for your help!

I recently converted another user over to the Paradox 11 Runtime. I now have 10-12 users on the runtime This particular user is experiencing a strange error.  Any report that is sent directly to a Printer causes the runtime to crash.  Sending the same reports to the screen works,  but then subsequently attempting to print another crash Using a PDF Printer works without error. The printers are networked printers,  Paradox V8 on Win 10 had no problem printing to them. I have one other user with a similar problem,  in that users case, they are running Pdox11 runtime in a Remote Desktop environment,  They get the error if they are sending the job to a REDIRECTED printer.   If they send the job to a printer that is not redirected,  then the progam works correctly. Any thoughts?? Jeff

I have a form which runs a query to select data within a specfied date range.  The form then opens a report based on the queried data.  Can I pass the start and end dates to the report in such a way as to display this range on the report?

Dot matrix printer, printing invoices 8.5 x 11 ... after every invoice I get a formfeed (an empty invoice).. I have ran into this problem before and I believe what I have done is recreate the report and the problem goes away.  Anyone know how to fix this in a different and easier manner? This error only shows it ugly face after an edit to a well running report.  Out older epson took a dump and we bought a new oki 320 turbo 9 pin.. so I made some adjustments to the report to compensate to the printers start of form. This basically meant moving things up a bit. Grouped on order# with a table frame. report    page      group         all records         table frame ETC .. ETC..     

Hello, I have a particular mailing label report that just started to behave oddly: When I print the report, the result looks like this: GOOD LABEL 1, BLANK LABEL EJECTED, GOOD LABEL 2, BLANK LABEL EJECTED, GOOD LABEL 3, BLANK LABEL EJECTED, , To diagnose the problem, I viewed the report on screen, and it displayed LABEL 1. I clicked to view the next page, and expected to see a blank label, but instead, LABEL 2 appeared. As I clicked along, each label displayed in sequence properly, with no blank pages. So, when scrolling, all looks fine, but when printing, I get the alternation with blanks as I have described. What would be causing that situation, and how can I fix it? Many thanks, Lothar

Hi I would like to have our delivery-note number as the report name, so when we print it with a PDF driver, the pdf attachement would have the same name as it corresponding deliverynote. In order words how would the syntax be for renaming the report before printing ?  Rgds Peter

I've successfully installed Paradox 9 on a windows 7 workstation linked to SBS 2008. However, when I went to amend a report by redefining a field, Paradox crashed. I've tried to do this on two different reports and on two different machines. Why would this happen? Does anyone know how to solve the problem?,

Hi All, I am struglling to format 2 fields in RSL file. Can anybody pls tell how to group two fileds? so, always they appear on same line? Thank you.

I'm having a bit of an issue with the window size of my reports and forms.  I want my forms to remain at the full size of the screen.  Under Form Data Properties I have checked off size to fit, I have several forms and when I open them they remain at full screen. The problem is that when I run reports they always come up a smaller screen size eventhough I have size to fit checked off under properties.  This wouldn't be much of a problem except for the fact that whenever I do open up a report not only does it shrink the report size but it shrinks the size of all the open forms, then after I close the report I have to maximize all my forms again.  This is driving me nuts as I run reports all day long.  Any suggestions? Thanks,  Teresa

First I should mention that I have "treat blanks as zero" ticked in settings of Pdx10 running on Win7 at work. On my report  I have numeric fields which are covered by undefined calculated fields that show a text value of "Absent" when the corresponding numeric value is 0.0. Otherwise the numeric value is shown. The problem is that when the field is left blank, I want a calculated field to show "Not Done". When I set up an iif isBlank() condition in a calculated field, the calculation treats the blank field as a 0 and reports 0.0 rather than "Not Done". It is as if the treat blank as zero over-rides the isBlank() request.... This does not seem right to me because  the underlying table value certainly is blank... Can you help? Regards. Paul

I am relatively amateurish in developing applications, but have been doing it on and off for many years. I am setting up an application for my daughter's rural veterinary business that will store information about her business, clients and animals and which  will print invoices and statements of account for her clients. She runs Windows 7 operating system and has Corel Office X4 installed on a small network of two computers and two printers. My problem is that I want the invoices to print on her Lexmark T632 printer, which works okay, but I cannot find a way of telling the application to take the paper from Tray 2 on that printer. Is there some code I can write into the application that directs the report to a particular tray on the printer? Tony Hynes

I have a report that has a table on it.  The table is located in the PRIV file.   Object Pal code copies the table from the PrivMaster to the Priv folder and then Data is inserted into the table.  A report has the table on the data module and the table on the report is defined to the table in the PRIV folder.   The report will not print the first row in the table, but all subsequent rows will print.  I moved the data around in the table to make sure that it wasn't a specific piece of data, but  it appears to be only the first row in the table that is omitted when the report is printed.  Run Time property for the table on the report has the YES radio button selected on the Show All Records.  Any idea's of what I can check when the first row of the table will not print?  ,

Hello All, I just started getting a pdxwin32.exe hungapp while printing in paradox on one computer only. We have paradox 10 on 7 nodes with no problem except this particular one. The error just started in the past 2 weeks or so. When paradox starts to print, most of the window turns white and hangs indefinitly. I can print from any other program with no problem. I uprgraded from paradox 10.0.0.663 to 10.0.0719 to see if it would fix but it did not help. What would you guys suggest? Thanks scott

I have always had a problem with this and it has come up again so time to ask, am I missing something? I have a text object in a report with fixed wording and two embedded fields containing variable information. Fonts are all the same formatting (Arial 8 Regular) but the alignment between the fixed text and the embedded text is never correct in the final print out. The embedded fields align OK but not with the fixed text.... The result does not look neat. So am I missing something? Thaks, Paul.

I'm sure there is a simple way to do this, but I can't find it! I have a simple tabular report, based on a table with 3 dependant tables. For the report, I'm using a sort and a filter. I'd like to add a field to the table which is the filtered record number rather than the "real" record number (meaning 1, 2, 3, etc. rather than 23,49,123, etc.). Is there a simple way to do that? (Worst case, I can run a query with the filter and do the report off of the result, but that seems like a lot of work.)
