PARADOX COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
INSTALL
1. Can the installation be performed from drive B?
Yes, simply move to drive B: and type "INSTALL".
2. Can I delete any of the files in the PARADOX3 directory,
and what is the disk space required?
It is not recommended that any files be deleted from the
PARADOX3 directory placed after installation. You should
have approximately 2 megabytes of disk space to install
Paradox 3.0 and its sample files.
3. +
When I run the installation program, I cannot read the
screen.
The README file mentions a special command line switch
used to specify if you have trouble reading the
installation screen. Type "INSTALL -B&W" or "INSTALL -
MONO".
4. What do I need to do to bring in data from other versions
of Paradox?
Tables, forms, reports, and scripts have the same
structures from version to version. You do, however, need
to be aware of differences in the menu selections which
could affect existing scripts. If you are going to move a
report or form to a lower version, you need to be sure no
special features are included that are version specific.
5. The person who installed Paradox is no longer with us so
we want to change the name on the splash screen.
You will need to contact Borland Technical Support.
6. Paradox does not seem to recognize my expanded memory.
How can I tell if the expanded memory is being accessed?
Load Paradox by typing "PARADOX3" and pressing <Alt><F10>,
<V>alue, and typing "MEMLEFT()". The amount of memory
remaining will be displayed in the lower left corner of
the screen.
Load Paradox again by typing "PARADOX3 -EMK 0" and
pressing <Alt><F10>, <Value>, and typing "MEMLEFT()". The
amount of memory remaining will be displayed in the lower
left corner of the screen. (The parameter "-EMK 0" tells
Paradox not to use expanded memory.)
Compare the two values. If there is a difference, the
expanded memory is being recognized. Refer to pages
272-273 of the User's Guide for a description of how
expanded memory is utilized.
7. Just after installing Paradox 3.0, why can't I run the
program?
You must reboot the computer after installing Paradox so
that any changes made to the CONFIG.SYS file will be in
effect when you start Paradox.
8. When I start Paradox 3.0, I get the splash screen and the
system stops there. Why?
If you have expanded memory, try starting Paradox by
typing "PARADOX3 -EMK 0". This will prevent Paradox from
using expanded memory. If Paradox runs, you have an
expanded memory conflict. See the User's Guide for more
information on resolving this conflict.
9. Why can't I use the sample tables?
By default, the sample tables are placed in a separate
subdirectory. To access them, use the <T>ools, <M>ore,
<D>irectory command to change your working directory to
the directory in which the tables are located.
10. I am going through the examples in the User's Guide, but I
cannot find the "ORDERS" table.
If you did not work through ALL the examples in the
introduction booklet, play the script "RECAP," which will
create "ORDERS" and update the tables so they will match
the examples in the User's Guide.
