I'm using Paradox 10 as a flat file database with just over 100,000 records
with 52 fields. My forms work ok but I do a lot of work in the table view
and
every now and then, over the years, I've had to rebuild a table after a
record has been corrupted. When I do this all the formatting for the table
view disappears, leaving me with a plain white table. If I then recover a
previous version of the table, the formatting is gone from that as well
(leading me to conclude that that the formatting is stored somewhere in
Paradox rather than in the .DB file itself??). This has also happened
occasionally after a simple restructure which I usually do before adding a
batch of new records with different standard default values. It's very
frustrating as it then takes a couple of hours to put back all my colours
and
fonts and move the columns to the order in which I want them. Has anybody
else encountered this? Does anyone know why it happens, and what to do to
stop it, or recover from it? Any help would be gratefully received. I've
been
using Paradox since Ansa brought out Version 1.00 and this problem has
been
there ever since the first Windows Version. Hope someone has an answer,
thanks!
