2.0 out of 5 stars Less information than the manual, April 10, 1999

This review is from: Borland Paradox 7.0 Quicktorial for Windows 95 (Paperback)

This book doesn't do much more than cover the most rudimentary functions and walk you through the "experts." Since the whole point of "experts" is they are simple to use, I don't think anyone needs to spend $20 to read, "the Form Expert asks you if you want to use the data from one or two tables. Click the option you want and then click Next." Duh!

3.0 out of 5 stars Could not find data on "TCursor"..Error message on Paradox 7, August 28, 1998

This review is from: Borland Paradox 7.0 Quicktorial for Windows 95 (Paperback)

Wonderful colors, and I understand that it is a quick tutorial. I just installed the Paradox 7 for windows 95. I bought it because it (Borland) advertises that it is "easy-to-use." I have used other versions of Paradox. It is good software.

The book is easy to use and I bought it because I tried to run the Paradox 'Expert' system and I got an error. nrecords error, (TCursor not opened). I could not find any help data on nrecords or 'TCursor' in the book, and also not in the help data of Paradox 7.

Perhaps I am asking the book to explain what Paradox itself does not explain. If so, I cannot blame the book. It is well written and clear.

2.0 out of 5 stars Paradox 7 complexities, May 20, 2000

This review is from: Borland Paradox 7.0 Quicktorial for Windows 95 (Paperback)

After 2 years of trying to operate Paradox 7, I continue to have the Expert system trying to intercept and ruin my needs. I installed the system on my pentium computer and the "Expert" system has never worked. I continue to get an error message. I am thoroughly disgusted with Corels theoretical "support" which is nonexistant unless I want to spend telephone dollars ( a lot of them) to fix THEIR system. A simple desire to add a column of numbers requires a PHD in economics and electronics. While Ms. Newbury may be a good author, there is no system to get help when it does not work.....Unless I want to spend more money trying to understand the Corel attitude.
