Hi there,

My annual dose of paradox has arrived. Happy 2007 to all.

Pdox9 for the record.

i have a report that I run on one table, using the filter as needed.

Yesterday it was fine

Today the filter button is greyed out in the report design mode. I restored
an earlier copy with no improvement so I imagine it is some setting
somewhere. I can find nothing. The table was not changed, everything else
runs fine.

What simple thing have I overlooked?

Only case of filter being greyed out I'm aware of, is when there's no table
in the datamodel

Hi,

Solved that. All the fields were undefined, but how they got like that
beats me. Found an earlier backup and that worked fine.

I've had that happen when a user opened a report directly using the full
version of Paradox w/o having the correct working directory set (or
appropriate alias set up). Paradox displays an error message, then, when
the user closes the report, displays another message saying the report
has changed and asks if it should be saved. If the user saves it, the
next time the report is opened, it'll be missing it's datamodel.

That's a good argument for providing delivered reports to users and/or
restricting them to using Paradox Runtime.

I can believe that, I had worked unconnected to the server the previous
evening.

Must be psychic, I was thinking yesterday about using delivered forms to
force me not to make ad-hoc changes on the server copies, rather to do
them all on the development copy. I think I must implement that.

Regards
Anne
