Hello, I checked the knowledgebase and am hoping one of you may have run
into this before. My company has a user who after modifying data in a
specific table he then tries to exit the program (paradox 8), at that
time he gets the following error:

"Invalid Pointer Operation" (with an OK box), after he clicks the OK
button he receives the following dialog "Illegal Operation", and in the
details he gets "Pdxwin32 caused an invalid page fault in module
pdxvwr32.dll @ 0137:08925304"

Any ideas would be very welcome. You can post replies here or email me at
phil...@vgm.com

Thanks in advance.

See what happens if you change ProjectViewer to use Details View.

After setting the Proj Viewer to Details View the Invalid Pointer
Operation no longer occurs. Thanks! Can you explain why that is?

Also we noticed something else going on: The user enters some data using
a premade form, if he enters the data, and then saves it, and immediately
performs a query on the data, the changes are not reflected. He has to
exit Paradox 8 completely, then re-launch it, run the query and then the
modified data is present. Any ideas on why that's happening?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The error has returned. It worked fine for a
few quick tests, but then immediately returned. Frustration, indeed.

If there are any ideas at this point I'll listen to them all!

Thanks for the advice, I kind of hoped that would be our fix.

Phil

Did it happen with Project Viewer set to Details View? If you exit Paradox
with objects open on the desktop, the setting is restored to the default.
Did you exit Paradox and launched it again and got the details view by
default?

<<<

>>>

What do mean by "saves it"? Does he close the form? Does he exit edit mode?
Is he using local data or networked data?

Step 1)
In Bde Adminstrator, change the LocalShare setting to True.

If the problem still occurs, be back.

Yeah, we set Details View, then exited and relaunched. Details View was
kept, but the error still happens. According to other techs here, MS
Outlook 2000 (SR-2) was recently installed on that pc as well. Now we're
wondering if it's Outlook's fault...

He "saves it" but hitting the save icon. Why he does this is beyond me,
he can always wait until he's completely finished with data entry then
save, but that's how he is... Will setting the Local Share to TRUE
change any behavior that I might need to know about? His data is
accessed (as all of our stuff is) over the network, no data of his is
stored locally...

I'm not aware of any Save icon that works while editing data. In P9 it's
grayed when a form is open on the desktop. In P8, the button should be
grayed. It has no effect while editing data.

Local Share=True will make Paradox to update the tables immedialtely instead
of caching local data. Whther you should use Local Share when having data on
a network, is a question of which netwrok you are using. take a look in the
FAQs newsgroup for a FAQ on configuring the BDE.

For your original problem:


<<<

time he gets the following error:
>>>

You have to give a detailed description of the setup. Does he edit a table?
How is the table opened? How is it closed? Does he run any scripts? And so
on.

He edits a table via a form, he enters the changes in the form. No
scripts. It's closed by closing out Pdox (as far as I can tell). The
table is modified from the form that he uses.

How does he open the form? From the ProjectViewer or from an icon on the
desktop?

The form should take care of the close event and make sure the
unlockrecord() and endedit() is issued before closing itself and exiting
Paradox.

He opens the form from the Proj. Viewer. I'll ask the autor of the Form
to see if the events you mention are being initiated prior to exiting
Paradox (I didn't write that form.)

The author of that particular form wishes to know the exact procedure
needed to verify that the closing events you listed are being performed.
Please keep in mind, none of us here are Paradox experts.
