Q: I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DEFAULT RETRY PERIOD IS ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND THAT IT WAS INSTANTANEOUS IN THE PAST. HOW CAN I MAKE IT FASTER?
A: Interactively, the fastest you can make retry is 3 seconds. To set the retry period in Paradox 7 for Windows 95, choose Edit | Preferences, click the Database tab, and enter 3 for the Retry Period. Note that if you enter values of 0, 1 or 2, they will result in entries of 3.
Via ObjectPAL, you can make the retry period be instantaneous, just the same as in previous versions. To do so, execute the following code:
setretryperiod(0)
Note that this is a session level setting, so once you execute this code, it will apply to the entire duration of your Paradox session only.
