Re: Paradox 11 Title Bar 8.3 Naming Convention

Ike

I thing you changed the wrong thing and changed the "Paradox" Application 
Name, not the form name.

You can change the form name with code like this
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 var
    resultsForm    Form
 endVar

 resultsForm.Open(":TAMI_T:EQUIP_H.fsl")
 resultsForm.SetTitle("EQUIPMENT HOURLY DATA")
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

resultsForm is a Form varriable and the first line of code opens the form 
and the second line sets its title

I think you tried
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  SETTITLE("Title")

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which changes the application title whick is "Paradox" by default
