Hi,

I have my hub plugged into the UPS because our power supply can be
unreliable here in the third world.

Today someone accidentally switched off the UPS and when the network went
up again the pdox form on my machine (only instance running apart from
server) was nonop so I had to close and reopen.

Is there any way to restore the pdox form connection automagically in this
event?

I have machines that, when they power up, log in automatically and start
Paradox with a form/script.

But I'm not sure what you are asking. Can you elaborate?

Tony, hi,

What I meant that was I had a form up and running on my machine. I can edit
my data with this. I have a radio button field for "Buy - Yes/No". I
noticed that the network had dropped when I went to edit this on a record.
Clicking on this made no change to the field status. Then I saw that I
could not even move off the record. Like frozen.

Bear in mind that the .fsl is on the upstairs server.

When I found the network down and restored it, although the form was still
showing on my machine it of course was still just a pretty picture, no
editing could be done with it.

What I imagined was that when the network was restored that I could
continue with the editing process. In fact I had to close the form and
reopen it before I continue editing.

I was suprised this happened. I expected contuniued action when the network
was restored. Did I miss something here, maybe in my panic I did something
that prevented continued editing?

Regards
Anne

Once you lose the network connection, I suspect you would have to close and
restart Paradox.

Not sure whether I've had this happen, but I'm guessing my first action in
this situation would have been the above.

Tony is right, you should have to completely restart pdox since, at minimum you
have lost connection with the lck files and the .net file. This usually results
in the unknown internal operating system error message.

Dennis, hi,

OK, thanks, that is clear.

Yes, I have had that particular message already today. I have now also
disabled standby on all of the computers and ensured no sleep or standby
on the network cards.

Regards
Anne
