Q: WHY DON'T I SEE THE SAME OPTIONS UNDER THE PARADOX 7 FOR WINDOWS 95 TOOLS MENU THAT I SAW UNDER 5.0? I TOLD PARADOX 7 TO MERGE 5.0 DATA DURING INSTALLATION.

A: Paradox 7 for Windows 95 & Windows NT does not use the PXDLITE.INI file and the installation program does not merge the settings into the registry. Following is an example of how to add C:\MYAPP\MYSCRIPT.SSL to the Paradox 7 for Windows 95 & Windows NT Tools menu when running on Windows 95 (Windows NT similar). Paradox must not be running because it may reset the registry values when you exit.
  1. Run REGEDIT.EXE and display the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Paradox\7.0"
  2. Right-click "7.0" folder icon and select New | Key. Name the new key "PXDLITE" and press Enter.
  3. Right-click "PXDLITE" and select New | Key. Name this new key "Tools" and press Enter.
  4. Right-click "Tools" and select New | String Value. Name the string "MyScript" and press Enter; this is what will appear under the Paradox 7 for Windows 95 Tools menu.
  5. Right-click "MyScript" and select Modify. Type in "C:\MYAPP\MYSCRIPT.SSL" into the Value Data field and press Enter.
