Paradox 4.5 Win Form Difficulties in 5.0 Win

Post by Kristofer Nelso » Tue, 20 Feb 1996 04:00:00



I have many forms, some that were created in Paradox for Windows 4.5 and
some that were created in Paradox for Windows 5.0. In the forms that were
created in Paradox 4.5, the text in the fields ride up to the top of the
fields and are hard to read. In forms that were created in PdoxWin 5.0,
the letters are down lower and are "normal." This is irritating as we
have to use a different font in the edit boxes than we would like to and
it isn't as nice looking. Is there any way to solve this?
Also, in 4.5 forms, the font list omits several fonts, and in 5.0 forms,
the font list is complete. What's causing this?
I am opening and viewing all these forms in PdoxWin 5.0. Is there any way
to solve this other than recreate all my old forms from scratch in
PdoxWin 5.0?

Thanks and rock Rhrp,
ZinkKS

I've never converted forms from 4.5 to 5.0, but I understand that you can
open the form in design mode, then do a "File Save As" and it will convert to
a 5.0 form for you.
