      From: delllz94.@gmail.com              I have a database named Main2 of about 400 Records for making mailing labels       (Paradox 8).       To back it up, I selected the Main2 family in Working (about five lines)       on C: drive,       did a Copy, and proceeded to Paste it on my Zip drive. But by a slip of       the mouse I Pasted it back on Working in C: drive. (Dam!)              Instead of just updating the Main2 family in Working, it made a copy (about       five lines) directly below.              Thinking this might have been a fluke, I Pasted it into Working again. Another       copy of about five lines appeared, directly below the first. So by then       I had the Main2 family (about five lines) with two copies        of about five lines each with no spacing in Working. After shutting down       and re-launching Paradox, I got the following in Working:              Copy (2) of Main2       Copy of Main2       Main2              These three lines are all that appeared under Working              On Open Table, the usual Main2 table came onscreen. But there was one thing       missing--the Fields had lost their color--no nice red, yellow, blue, etc.        Proceeding to make a set of mailing       labels (about 210), I found that everything went normally.              I would appreciate some comments.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
