Preparing for XP Pro
Marten
I am preparing a new P4 3 GHz which will run XP Pro. I am
contemplating switching from v7 to v10. Any suggestions to things I
need to watch for when installing and using either version.

For P7 you will need to set compatibility to NT4 for the Paradox ap.
Not sure if there is anything else.

Without knowing your environment (network, single user, size of app, only
interactive etc) it's difficult to know.
Assuming that you are single user with everything local and that you will
still have acces to your old PC for a while, I would recommend that you
install only P10 on the new PC. Move your data and forms over and start
recompiling and see what happens. Most of the transition should be fairly
straight forward and if you run into some issues I'm sure most of them can
be fixed or worked around.
FWIW I have no longer any clients left with P7 - all my work is now in P10.

I installed v10. Started up okay. Open the form which comprises the
main menu. Clicked on the button which calls the data entry screen.
Got a message saying that in couldn't find the .fsl form. Manually
opened that second form and it couldn't find parts it called.
Uninstalled 10 and put 7 in. It works fine.
My question, what do you mean be "recompile"? What tidbit of
information will explained what I missed. <g>
Incidently, it is a single user. The primary files are less then 500
records at this point. The app is charitable receipt printing and
tracking. Possibility of this machine hosting multi-user but not soon.

: opened that second form and it couldn't find parts it called.
What does "parts it called" mean?
Other form(s)? Lookup table?
What was the full text of the error?

In P7, when you change the directory shown in Project Viewer, you also
change the working directory. In later versions of Paradox, change the
directory in Project Viewer is not enough, You have to explicitly change the
working directory. Project Viewer has button showing a folder(?) and a
pencil. It's yellow when the current directory is NOT the working directry.
If you press that button, it will turn gray and the working directory is the
same as your current directory.

Sorry, for a moment I became a user and assumed you were telepathic.
<g>
"parts it called" meant another form. I didn't check for other objects
such as reports, etc. I'll have to give you the full text later when I
finishing reinstalling v10. If I remember, it was something like "can
not find form xxxx.fsl". As I said, I'll get the full text to you
later. Possibly tomorrow. If it will help, I'll included the
pushbutton method's code.

It sounds like you aren't using aliases to refer to things.
You should ALWAYS use aliases, whether referring to forms, tables, libraries
or anything else.
The only time a form won't be able to find something might then be a lookup
table that has been moved from the absolute path that is stored with a
lookup table definition.
Or, of course, if the object being referenced is no longer in that alias.
By inferrence, and as Bertil I think was pointing out, your references are
to the current working directory.
Work to always point to things by alias; don't rely on being in the :work:
directory.
The above is supposition based on what you've said before, and I may not
have gotten it right. Correct me if I am wrong.
