IMHO your best option is the articles on www.thedbcommunity.com, the host site of these groups. Lots of good stuff there, tho' no step-by-step. First choice is "Where To Put Code": http://www.thedbcommunity.com/index....13&Item id=44 Then check out the FAQs, available from the Corel Newserver (cnews.corelcom) as the corel.Paradox-FAQ newsgroup. They are really articles. Finally, Mike Prestwood's book seems be available from his website: http://www.prestwoodboards.com/commu...ooks/official/ although I couldn't get the "In Stock Order It Now" link to work. You might try emailing him. While it says Version 9, there are nearly no changes in V10 and V11, the current version. Just something called the StringList type, supposed to be useful for internationalizing applications. Thanks, Jim. I was not aware of www.thedbcommunity.com. I have always accessed this group via Usenet newsgroups. It made me feel a whole lot better to see they have an entire section dedicated to "Where to put your code." I felt a bit stupid admitting I did not know where to begin. Though I was able to get onto www.prestwoodboards.com, the link above does not appear to be directly accessible. I will dig around on the site to see what I can find. I will probably run across additional information that is useful. I know I am interested in the book. Thanks, again. -Ike |

Yes, point your newsreader at pnews.thedbcommunity.com or nntp://pnews.thedbcommunity.com and you'll see we have lots of wonderful groups (and one that's sometimes questionable <g>). |
is a completely new resource I was not aware of. And again, thank you.

LOL.... Did you see where the one seller's name was HALFPRICEBOOKS.COM and they wanted $145.00. |
$290 for a used paperback if you don't buy from them!

Notice that that gives you a link to read the book online also.
If that doesn't work for you, try signing in on his forums
(it's free), because I am signed in there and it worked for me
with no problem.
Also do a search at an online bookstore for Paradox books by
Cary Jensen. Though they cover earlier versions of Paradox,
all the information is good, and will still work. Here's what
I found at amazon.com:

"ObjectPAL." If it says "PAL" or plain old "Paradox" it may
be for Paradox for DOS, which was a completely different thing,
and the code is not compatible.

Thank you for the link. As it turned out, the prestwoodboards web site
was acting up only on that day. There were multiple errors. A couple
of days later I was able to successfully place an order for the book,
though I have not yet received a confirmation email. I will have to
wait to see if I actually get my book. It should be here by the end of
this week or the beginning of next week at the latest.
