Dear everybody,

I just installed Paradox 10 on a new machine, and I get a strange error
every time I try to open a table:
(Translated from Norwegian
"c:\pdoxwin\paradox\paradox.pic contains an invalid path"

The directory c:\pdoxwin\ or c:\pdoxwin\paradox does not exist on my
machine. I used this this previously on older machines, so it might be a
part of some ini-file or likewise that I have copied as part of a paradox
project.
The new computer has Paradox installed in the standard place - something
like "c:\program files\corel\word perfect office\ etc ..."

Sincerely,
Anders T. B.

This went to fast ...

The error happens every time I try to restructure a table. I get to
restructure the table, but I have to "OK" this annoying error message first.
Every time.

Sincerely,
Anders T. B.

Well, Anders -- whatever you're doing wrong, you're not alone. I have
exactly the same problem, except in English, not Norwegian, and
Paradox 9, not 10.

Does the table contain a Picture val check?

Do you have a .val file belonging to the table?

I have tried tables both with and without val-files, and the error remains
the same.

What's you registry setting for

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\Paradox\10.0\Conf iguration\UsrPicDir]


Do you have any pdoxwin.ini or pdoxwork.ini ( with more than an empty
[Folder] section) files in the same folder as the table?

Does the table have a .FAM file or a .TV file?

Does the table have a lookup table?

I'm not the OP, but since I'm having the same problem, I may as well
poach.

Actually, I'm running Paradox 9.0, so the registry key has "9.0"
instead of "10.0" Its value is

C:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office 2000\Paradox

Yes, that folder does contain a file named padox.pic. I added this
registry enty by hand -- it didn't previously exist, and I guessed
that adding it might cure the problem. Alas, no.

Curiously, using XP's Search dialog (the one with the sappy little
puppy wagging its tail) doesn't find paradox.pic. I can drill down
with File Manager (or whatever they call it nowadays) and find it
easily enough, though. No, it desn't have any of the Read-only,
Hidden, or Archive attributes set.

No.

No.

No.

This problem isn't really life-threatening. I can still restructure
the table. It's just annoying to have to close what seems like an
extraneous warning dialog.

For me the userpicdir is
C:\Documents and Settings\scbcbis\Application
Data\Corel\Paradox100\ConfigDir

Naturally, I don't have such a folder on my system. "scbcbis"?

That's his window's User Account. Yours will be different - mine is "JimMoseley".
