I am using Wordperfect Office 2002 - Paradox 10. I get a General
Protection Fault on Table Lookup. I go to restructure... Table Lookup
and then Unexpected: General Protection Fault.

It does not allow me to create my associations between databases.

The only issue I can find in the database is the status bar issue which
I am not having.

Please Help - I have this program for a couple of years but the first
time I'm using the Paradox and relational databases. I completely
uninstalled and resinstalled (SP2), I then installed SP3 and SP4.

I tried it with the same results.

I do have 2 status bar lines. I running windows XP home

Do you already have a lookup table defined, and want to change the
reference? Or do you get the GPV when accessing the lookup table tab in
the Restructure dialog when you create the table?

What's the full name to your working directory and your private directory?

I get when accessing the lookup table tab in the Restructure dialog.

For example, I create table called orders with the fields I want.
It has a primary key and a secondary.

I then create a table called customers with a primary key and
a secondary.

I then go back to restructure orders and click on the lookup
table tab and get the GPF. I click ok and it is just a
blank tab.

WORK: - Z:\My Document\RidgecrestPTA2004-2005\Database
PRIV: - Z:\My Documents\PdxPriv

Note the user mounts a SAMBA share for their My Documents directory,
thus it is on Z.

Prior to this, I also tried it where the path was
C:\Documents and Settings\Kyle & Becky\My Documents\...

Besides RidgecrestPTA..., I also tried DatabaseTest

Could you try do it with local tables placed in c:\data\work and having
a private directory named c:\data\pdxpriv?

Since I have 3 computers in my house, I tried it on another.

Seems to work fine. Now I have to figure out what is
unique with my computer versus my daughters.

I've tried uninstall and install again but I get the same
results.

Is there a complete erase of WordPerfect office such that
everying include registry entries are deleted?

Running Paradox 10 on Win2000, I have no problem adding a lookup table
from Orders - CustomerId to Customers - CustomerId.

You didn't mention, you already had a referential integrity defined
between the tables.

What happens if you remove the referential integrity?

What happens if you delete the files Customers.val and Orders.val, to
find out if saved information in those files are causing your problem?

First of all though, I would try to delete the file DBL$file.$$$ from
the folder. I don't know where it comes from.

You're restructuring from Visual Database Designer. I never do that. But
it does not matter when I tested now.


If I could reproduce the error, I would try to use Filemon (and mayb
Regmon) from www.sysinternals.com to analyze the file accesses that
occurs when you activate the Table Lookup tab. As you have two PCs where
you can define a lookup table, you can maybe find some differences
between the log outputs when Filemon is run.


Eventually, two questions that always should be asked:

1) Do you have more than one instance of idapi32.dll on your system?

2) What's your settings for MinBufSize and MaxBufSize? You can see the
values under Tools | Settings | Preferences, the BDE tab. To change
those settings, you have to run BDE Administrator. They are found under
Configuration tab, System - Intit.

The default values are still set too low. I now use 4096 as min and 8192
as max, and that should be enough.

Hi, this is my first time responding to a news group, so if I've responded
incorrectly, I appologize.

Kyle and Bertile,

I am going thru the tutorial and am at lesson 5 to build the look-up table.
The exact problem occured. I get the same blank look-up tab, with the same
warning dialog box. I have only one idapi32.dll on my system and I changed
the MinBufSize and MaxBufSize to the recommended values. Still the same
problem.

I run a 2.6GHz AMD processor, with 512 MB Ram and a new 120 GB HD. I
mention "new" because this is the first WP install on it, so there should
not be any residual files to interfer as they sometimes might. So, I think
the system is OK.

I see there hasn't been any exchange on this thread for a while and I am
hoping the problem has been identified and solved. In anycase, I need help
making this work Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I did not "make " the private directory. It appeared there on the install.
The help files say the Private directory should appear "under" the main
Paradox Directory, which is C:\Program FIles\Corel\WordPerfect Office

I am using all the default preferences, I am wondering if there is anything

Win XP and (Win2000) are different than the previous versions of Windows. In
Win XP you don't have write access to subfolder to c:\program files unless
you are logged in as Adminsitrator or you belong to a administrators group.

Private directory: C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\USER\MY DOCUMENTS\PDXPRIV is
in my opinion a too long file name for Paradox.

Create a new folder c:\data. Make sure you get write access to that folder.
Copy the Tutorial folder to C:\data, and create a folder c:\data\pdxpriv. In
Paradox, change the private directory to c:\data\pdxpriv. And change your
working directory to c:\data\Tutorial. Then try again to create a lookup.

I did as you suggested, pretty much:
Working Directory: C\:PdxData\Tutorial
Private Directory: C\:PdxData\PdxPriv

I still get the same fault notification. I also found that there is no
security tab when I right click on the PdxData folder, even though "USER"
has admin rights. I'm trying to figure that out.

Thanks for your help so far.

I don't have XP, so I can only guess what's happening. If you don't have a
Security tab on pdxData, it could be caused by inheritance of security
settings from C root, which I guess is forbidden area in XP.

This setting is slightly different in XP Pro and Home and also think it's
different if your XP Pro PC is a member of a domain or not. I also think
it's unavailable if you run FAT32 instead of NTFS.

If you are sure you have NTFS it should be available.

Settings-Control Panel - Folder options (or open up Windows Explorer and
chose Tools-Folder options)

Go the second tab (called "visning" in Swedish - I guess it should be
something like "View" in English). Check the "Advanced settings" and look
for something like "Use simplified file sharing" and uncheck that
alternative. Then you should get the "Security" option when you inspect the
properties of a folder.

I hope you can follow my poor translations - I'm running Swedish XP.

I unchecked the "simple file sharing" and sure enough, the secutity tab
shows on the folder properties. I gave full control to "USER", in my case,
but I still get the same fault when I try to open the "Look Up" tab.

My system is not set up to have to log on, it opens directly to the desktop
without asking for logon name or password. I don't feel that kind of
security is necessary at home. My understanding is that as long as "USER"
has full control, that should be OK.

More suggestions or corrections to "my understanding" would be appreciated.
I still need to make this program work.

Thanks to all who have helped so far.

Reading the whole thread I don't think it's an security setting. There must
be something else that causes the error. Unfortunately I have no clue what.

Which SP level are you on? (Help-About-Program release)

As I don't have XP, it's very hard to say what could be the problem.

I used Filemon from www.sysinternals.com to analyze the file requests
made when clicking the Table lookup tab in Restructure dialog.

Besides normal requests for all tables in the directory, and some files
in the BDE folder, following files/folders are accessed

c:\winnt\system\shell32.dll
c:\program files\corel\WPO2002\programs
c:\

and surprisingly some netdrives
T:\
P:\
H:\

Maybe it would help you if you got Filemon. It's a freeware.

The BDE folder is c:\program files\common files\borland shared\BDE,
correct? If they are "in the BDE folder", how come the path doesn't show

I will try it, I was hoping that somebody would know exactly what the
problem is. By the way, what happened to Kyle, does anybody have his email.
He evidently solved the problem - or gave up.

What is the long term future of Paradox, every once in a while someone
alludes to the fact that there is no development going on and it is a dying
database. I am wondering if all this hassle is worthwhile if it is not
going to be around in the future.

Thanks again,

John.

What you experience is not normal, most of us are running Paradox without
any real problem.

That said, your question is still valid - is it worthwhile to learn Paradox?
The answer to that very much depends on your needs and your aim with
learning it.

Testing at home, where I have no network, I get a file request from

Otherwise, it was the same files as I saw logged at my office.

Using Filemon you'll notice how a program is looking for a file. You will
see lots of file not found when program is looking in the program's own
folder first and then it will find the file in WinNt\System. So FIle Not
Found is in itself not interesting if the file is found somewhere else.

In your output, I don't understand the references to
pdxwin32.exe.local --> This one looks like a problem
MSGINA.dll
WINSTA.dll
wiashext.dll
OBDC32.dll

Using Filemon, you can disable the logging while you work, by toggling
Capture Event. Eg disable it, until you have the Restructure dialog opened,
and then enable logging and click on the Lookup table tab. That way you will
get a smaller log file. You can also filter the requests shown, by entering
pdxwin32.exe in the filter dialog (Include)

BTW, on Win2000 I have MSGINA.DLL, WINSTA.DLL, and odbc32.dll in
Winnt\System32.dll, but not wiashext.dll
But neither of those files are logged when I open lookup tab.

When I log Paradox being opened, I also have a reference to
pdxwin32.exe.local and a FILE NOT FOUND message, so it's not an important
message.

Try to limit the file requests as I mentioned in the previous message. If
you don't find anything but what already has reported, I would recommend you
to uninstall , cleaning the registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\Paradox\10
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\Paradox\10.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Corel\Paradox\10
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Corel\Paradox\10.0

and corresponding keys for other applications included in the Suite

and then reinstall to a folder with shorter name
C:\Program Files\Corel\WPO2002 instead of WordPerfect Office 2002.

Feeling targeted there! :-)

Seriously, I haven't followed the discussion so closely. I never use Table
Lookup and I don't use Filemon or Regmon.

Just made a quick test and defining and using lookups seems to work. What
was interesting was that the first time I used "Restructure - Define Lookup"
Paradox "froze" for a second or two and the CD player started to spin. After
a short time everything returned to normal.

It would be interesting to find out if the results reported by John is
unique for him on Win XP. When he activates the lookup tab, no files in the
working directory is recorded in the Filemon log, but he has some requests
to files in Windows\System32, which I don't have, e g shgina.dll, rpcss.dll
and hpgwiamd.dll.

A search for shgina.dll on Microsoft's site, give 2 hits.
307274 - Windows stops responding during Windows XP shut down

813301 - Biometric Logon May Not Work After Resuming From Standby or
Hibernate

rpcss.dll gives 100 hits. (remote procedure call subsytem)
hpgwiamd.dll gives 0 hits.

Why are those files called by Paradox? Does it always happen on Win XP? Or
are they called by incorrect information in Registry?

No, I use it too. I have XP pro, have not installed SP2 yet (trying to
avoid that until IT forces it on me). I run Pdox 7, 8, 9, and 10 on the
system. The version of 10 is .719.

I have no trouble going into the table lookup tab within the restructure
process.

Starting in pdox 9 Corel went to that tabbed restructure setup. I notice
that if I am going to set table lookup on one table, it apparently attempt
to open all other tables in the work directory first (presumably to
determine which have compatible index structures to use as lookups for this
table) - and this can take quite some time, giving the impression that the
operation is hung up. If it cannot open one or more tables it will tell me
of the problem. Perhaps he is running into a table which is damaged to the
point that attempting to open it behind the scenes is causing the GPF. I
see he said it worked on his daughter's system, are the same data tables on
both systems? He might want to try manually opening each table in the work
directory.

Maybe if he has Pdox 7 or 8 available he could try that to see if that
works.

HTH,
Carolyn

When I looked at the output from Filemon, John appended, there were no
requests at all for files in the working directory. Even if a table was
corrupt, there should have been at least a file request to access the file.
So, it looks like something else.

And the Filemon output showed requests for a couple of files in
Windows\System, files that are not requested when running on Win 2000.

Bertil,

I've never used Filemon so have never really looked at what it does/tracks.
It sounds like a behind the scenes analyzer which records file access
requests and so I would have expected it to note the attempt to open other
tables in that directory.

All I know is that I currently have a table in one of my work directories
which I don't use any more and which has a corrupt index. No matter which
other table I restructure in that same directory, if I attempt to go to the
Table Lookup tab it always tells me it "could not open sbdia_tmt.db - index
is corrupt". Then it proceeds to show the table lookup tab and things
function normally. Somewhere in the process it is looking at this table. I
have duplicated this on other systems and if there is more than one bad
table it will display a message for those too. This happens in Pdox 9 and
10, and not in 7 or 8.

I've been a little busy lately but if there is something specific I could
check, let me know.

Thanks,
Carolyn

It would be interesting to know if the files shown in John's Filemon
log, always are requested when running on Win XP. I don't see requests
for those files on Win 2000.

As I wrote in a previous message
< Quote >
but he has some requests to files in Windows\System32, which I don't
have, e g shgina.dll, rpcss.dll and hpgwiamd.dll.
....
Why are those files called by Paradox? Does it always happen on Win XP?
Or are they called by incorrect information in Registry?

Can you send the regmon file (zipped) directly to me at bertil.isberg AT
comhem.se ?

I cannot unzip the file you appended to your message. filemon file is Ok.

The Windows\System32 files John had in his log are not found in your log.
OTOH, it looks like you have installed SP2 of Win XP.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\XPSP2RES.DLL is one the files requested.

To me it points to some kind of setup (Windows and or Paradox) problem on
John's machine.

Maybe, John will send a Regmon output, so I can compare with yours.

Until just this afternoon I had not installed SP2. My system kept telling
me to install it, but had held off as long as I could. Maybe it knew I was
going to install it <g>.

I'll look at your regmon output tonight.

So far, we know that the file requests to the C:\windows\System32 files
shgina.dll, rpcss.dll and hpgwiamd.dll shown in your Filemon log, is
something specific for your machine. Those files are not logged by other
XP users.

In the meantime, you could search your registry for those files.
Especially shgina.dll and hpgwiamd.dll.

I have looked through your Regmon log and a similar log sent to me by
Carolyn. There are differences. Your log shows access to different CLSIDs
than Carolyn's log. Your log shows shgina.dll as being an Inprocserver for
a CLSID, that file is now seen at all in Carolyn's log. There are two
references to shgina.dll on Microsoft's site, could you please check them
out, if they apply to your setup.

This problem is too complex for me as I don't have the same OS as you and
Carolyn. I cannot analyze the CLSID information, and understand the
differences between your regmon log and Carolyn's. If you send your email
address to me, bertil.isberg AT comhem.se (Do NOT show your real address in
messages on the newsgroups), I can send you Carolyn's log.

Can you send the appended files to my hom email bertil.isberg AT
comhem.se? Just zip the files without changing them to wpd.

Sounds reasonable. It should be really easy to check this by making a new
folder and create a couple of tables in it and try to define the lookup. If
it works then it should be data related and not setup related.
