 Serial Number Update Program

Use the Serial Number Update Program to update the information you gave Paradox when you ran the Install program. You can add or delete users from your server, change the user's name, and change the company name.

Serial Number

Enter new serial numbers in the Serial Number text box, then click the Add button. The Update program adds the new number to the Serial Number list and updates your Total User Count.

Total User Count

This is a count of the total number of valid users on your server. The Update program maintains this count automatically.

Add

Click the Add button to add the serial number you entered in the Serial Number text box to the Serial Number list. The Total User Count is automatically updated.

Delete

Click the Delete button to remove the selected serial number from the Serial Number list. The Total User Count is automatically updated.

User Name

Enter the user name you want to appear on the Paradox title screen. This name appears when Paradox is loading and when you choose Help | About from the Desktop.

Company Name

Enter the company name you want to appear on the Paradox title screen. This name appears when Paradox is loading and when you choose Help | About from the Desktop.


Paradox for Windows Local Settings

Use the Local Settings program to change any of the following:

Working Directory

This is the directory containing the tables and objects with which you are currently working.

To change this directory, enter the entire path of the directory in which you want to work. You can also change this directory interactively by choosing File | Working Directory from the Paradox Desktop.

Private Directory

In a multiuser environment, you need a place to put your temporary objects. Temporary tables (such as those created by a query) must be stored in a nonshared directory or they could be overwritten by other users. Every person who uses Paradox on a network must have a private directory when they run Paradox.

To change this directory, enter the entire path of your private directory. You can change this directoy interactively by choosing File | Private Directory from the Paradox Desktop.

ODAPI Configuration File

This is the directory containing your ODAPI configuration file.

To change this directory, enter the entire path of the .CFG file you want to use. This will update the [ODAPI] section of your WIN.INI file.
