PARADOX COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

NETWORK

   1.  During processing of a simple query, I continue to get the
       error message "Resource limit  exceeded:  Not  enough disk
       space to complete operation -- Leaving Paradox."

       You probably have your  private  directory  set to a local
       hard disk such as C:\ and truly do not have the disk space
       required  to  process  the  current  query.    Change your
       private directory to a directory on your network and retry
       the  query.    Also, you should have between two and three
       times the size of your table in free disk space.


   2.  After installing Paradox and trying to start  the program,
       I get the  error  message  "Cannot  record  lock/unlock of
       F:\PDOXDATA\PARADOX.NET  --  You  may  have   insufficient
       rights."

       a.  This is usually caused by the lack of proper rights to
       the directory in which the  user told Paradox to place the
       net  file.  On a Novell network, the  user  may  not  have
       mapped,  in this example, the F:\  drive  to  the  correct
       directory.

       b.  Try Nupdate  and  specify  F:\PDOXDATA  as PARADOX.NET
       file location.

       c.  Check for stray .LCK files and remove.


   3.  I  just purchased Paradox 3.0 and  have  .CFG  files  from
       Paradox  2.0.    Do I have to run CUSTOM for each user all
       over again for Paradox 3.0?

       Yes, since new information is being recorded under version
       3.0 of  Paradox,  such  as  each  individual  user's color
       selections.  You  can,  however, create a single .CFG that
       meets most users' needs and  copy that file to each user's
       private directory.


   4.  What  can I do to run more than one user in Paradox 386 on
       my network?

       Purchase a LAN  pack  and  complete  the  installation for
       Paradox to access data  on  a  network.   Provide both the
       serial number from  the  386 package and the serial number
       from the LAN pack.


   5.  Do I have to start Paradox from my private directory?












       Yes,  this  is  important.    Starting  from  your private
       directory allows Paradox to find the correct .CFG file for
       each user.


   6.  Are there any plans to support other networks  such  as OA
       Net, Promise LAN, MS-Net, and Ten Net?

       At  this  time  we  have  not  announced  any new  network
       compatibility solutions.   If  the network you plan to use
       is  100%  compatible  with  any  network  we  do  support,
       generally you should have no  problem.  However, WE DO NOT
       SUPPORT any network that is not listed.  See #1.


   7.  I keep running out of disk space.  Why?

       You may be logged into the wrong private  directory.   Use
       <T>ools, <N>et, <S>etpriv.


   8.  How  can  I  get  Paradox  to  start  up with  the  shared
       directory as my working directory?

       Set  the <D>efaults, <S>et Directory in  the  CCP  to  the
       logical drive/directory of the shared data directory.


   9.  Can  I access files on the  network  from  my  stand-alone
       version?

       By installing your  stand-alone  as a one user network (by
       running NUPDATE), you can access data  on  directories not
       controlled by Network Paradox.


  10.  Why  can't I get into the same data  directory  as  I  was
       using yesterday?

       Make sure nobody is using  Paradox on the network, then go
       into that directory and delete  any  files  with  the .LCK
       extension.


  11.  Graphs are not displaying and I get the message "Unable to
       locate proper screen drivers to display graph."  Why?

       Check path statement  to  include Paradox, or move all BGI
       drivers.
