   I'm not the OP, but since I'm having the same problem, I may as well   
   poach.

   Actually, I'm running Paradox 9.0, so the registry key has "9.0"   
   instead of "10.0"  Its value is   
      
   C:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office 2000\Paradox   
      
   Yes, that folder does contain a file named padox.pic.  I added this   
   registry enty by hand -- it didn't previously exist, and I guessed   
   that adding it might cure the problem.  Alas, no.   
      
   Curiously, using XP's Search dialog (the one with the sappy little   
   puppy wagging its tail) doesn't find paradox.pic.  I can drill down   
   with File Manager (or whatever they call it nowadays) and find it   
   easily enough, though.  No, it desn't have any of the Read-only,   
   Hidden, or Archive attributes set.   
      
   >Do you have any pdoxwin.ini or pdoxwork.ini ( with more than an empty

   No.   
      
   >Does the table have a .FAM file or a .TV file?   
      
   No.   
      
   >Does the table have a lookup table?   
      
   No.   
      
   This problem isn't really life-threatening.  I can still restructure   
   the table.  It's just annoying to have to close what seems like an   
   extraneous warning dialog.
