Not as an icon, but you can add a menu command to the Paradox 5.0 menus that do this (or you can place a button on a form and call your executable). To add the executeable to the Paradox menus, you'll want to edit the PXDLITE.INI file in your WINDOWS directory. Add a line that refers to the name (and location) of your executable, along with any command-line prompts you may need. Unfortunately, you can't edit the SpeedBar, er ToolBar, of PFW.

Check out the menu entries in the PXDLITE.INI file. The command is probably looking for a file that can't be found. On my machine, that command is isted in a section called [UTILITIES] and reads: Ta&ble Repair=C:\PDOXWIN\TUWUI.FDL If yours is similar, look in the specified directory and make sure you have a TUWUI.FDL (delivered version of the UI form). If you've got that form in another location, then change the path accordingly. If, OTOH, you have an .FSL, you can either deliver it (for speed) _or_ change the .FDL to a .FSL.

I am using PfW 5.0. I have looked in the ObjectPAL commands. Using the enumPrinters example, I changed all reference from Postscript to Winfax drv. However, I get an error message that the Winfax driver must be selected. Questions: 1. Can the default printer be changed from HP printer to Winfax on the fly and then back again? 2. Is do, is the enumPrinters the right command to do what I want to do? 3.

LL> LL> Hm. Interesting. Do you have any opinions about what might LL> indicate that crossover point? I suspect it's a very volatile point, as it is very dependent on changing technologies in communications as well as database management systems. My sense is that there is a lot of misestimation of the point and that people are going for client-server who will not be well-served by it and avoiding it where it could do some good. I would guess that given the "trendiness" of client-server, there are a lot more errors of the first type than of the second. I would further hazard a guess that the likelihood of error is high enough that real value could be produced by helping people choose the best architecture. Borland would be well-placed to market such a decision system, if they have the resources to develop it or buy it.

They create new elements in a table. So when they create a new element in this table, I put in the first field (Code field) a Number, wich could be for e.g. the Firm Key, the value of this number is going up for eatch new one. (This field is Indexed) But for the moment when two people do exactly in the same time the creation of a new element, the Key code could be the same, and at the end when they save it, with the index, one of the two element disapeared ... So I like to find a good ObjetPal code, to say : When you create a new element inside the table, you see the last value for key code (no problem for this), you create yours + 1, and nobody could do the same thing in the same time ... I've try this with LockRecord ... Open the record put the new key code, EndEdit, and Edit just after ... when the key is saved in the table, but nothing run ... Thanks a lot for your help !

Another way to do it is to have a separate table that contains the last key code being used and place a full lock on it and get the next key code and then save it there and release the lock.

There's some sample code in the online help for enumPrinters that should help. FWIW, you might want to have the report open in a Design window when you change the default printer, so it can react to the font change information this will generate.
