Very Computer

Does anyone know of any tool which will allow you to convert Paradox
3.0-3.5 to Paradox 8. Am particularly concerned about conversion of
scripts and reports. Must is just take the time to recreate the entire
thing??

Any help would be appreciated.

All your tables and their inter-relationships can be preserved.  None
of your scripts, libraries, forms, or reports is convertable however.
Actually once you get used to Paradox for Windows, it's not such a bad
thing.  Your basic business rules will be the same, but the
architecture of your presentation will be entirely different.  

After many false starts, I finally made significant progress by
building a few basic forms and seeing what could be done with
interactive (native) paradox.  As needs presented themselves I built
in OPAL code for slicker functions.

What was told to me early in the game, keeps coming back as being very
true.  What was hard in 3 or 4 is easy in PDOXWin.  What was easy in 3
or 4 is hard in PDOXWin.

It's called a "programmer".. unfortunately, there is no direct path to
pdoxwin.. the only thing they have in common is the tables themselves..
forms, reports, and code are no-go.. total re-write..
