- TITLE : Copying Valcheck Pictures from field to field
-
-
-
-
- Frequently when building tables in Paradox, a given Validity
- Check Picture may be useful across a number of fields. It can be
- tedious to re-enter the information for each field, especially if
- the Pictures are complex.
-
- Below is one method to copy Valchecks from one field to another
- in the same table using a two stage process. Step one covers
- storing into a variable the current defined Picture for use in
- subsequent Picture assignments. Step two covers placing the
- stored Picture in additional fields.
-
- 1. Store the Picture to a variable.
-
- a. Press <F10> and select {View} to view the table.
- b. Push <F9> to get in to Edit Mode.
- c. Push <F10> to get the menu.
- d. Choose {Valcheck}/{Define}, then use the Arrow Keys
- and <Enter> to select the appropriate field and choose
- {Picture} to highlight the desired Picture.
- e. Push <Alt-F10> for the PAL menu and choose
- {Miniscript}.
- f. At the command prompt enter the following:
- x=MENUCHOICE()
- g. Press <Enter>.
-
- 2. Fill the stored Valcheck in to the desired field.
-
- a. Move the cursor to the destination field where you
- want the Picture.
- b. Push <F10>
- c. Choose {Valcheck}/{Define}, then use the Arrow Keys
- and <Enter> to select the appropriate field and choose
- {Picture} to highlight the desired Picture.

- {Miniscript}.
