- We are in desperate need of help in using PARADOX 4.0 off of a Novell
- server. We have been experiencing 'unexpected errors' starting with
- release 3.5 and are continuing to have problems with release 4.0 of
- PARADOX.
-
- Documented below is the configurations for the DOS workstations and
- the Novell Server. There is also a short note on the problems that
- we have experienced with TUTILITY. If anyone could point out any
- specific problems with the configurations below, we would be greatly
- in your debt. As of now, using PARADOX, in a production environment,
- is almost impossible. Borland has been of no help in resolving these
- problems, in as much that they cannot even identify where the errors
- are occuring in PARADOX when a memory location is given along with the
- unexpected error message.
-
- Thanks for any assistance that you can provide!

- TUTILITY:
-
- We ran TUTILITY 4.0 on two tables. We're almost certain the tables
- were corrupted. We had gotten key violations when restructuring and
- continued to have "unexpected condition 449" problems. TUTILITY
- rebuilt without lossing records and said it had 0 problems. However,
- we had a problems with a form afterwards. We found that all forms
- were corrupt or out of date (modify/change/form). We had made a backup
- of the tables before Tutility ran. The forms were ok on the backup.
- DOES TUTILTITY KILL YOUR FORMS? DOES IT REALLY FIX ANYTHING?
