| Googling for "paradox database language" should help a bit. |

Yes i found 1 ZIP document that gives info on it, i didn't think it would be so hard to find stuff on it!
But now i have another QBASIC question!
1. How do i call for files from a CD or Diskette?
2. How do i write to a diskette from inside a program
3. How do i list the files i get from a prog
4. How do i make the program activate on startup?!?

Just like you would do normally but you change the path to a:\ or whatever drivename your cd/floppydrive uses.
Quote: 2. How do i write to a diskette from inside a program
See above.
Quote: 3. How do i list the files i get from a prog
After the prog returned them, just use a loop to diplay them all.

DOS - method 1:
× compile your program
× open autoexec.bat
× add your program's name and the path to it
× save
For example:
your program is called starterbas.bas, you first compile it to starterbas.exe. It is stored in c:\myfiles\
you open autoexec.bat and add the following line:
c:\myfiles\starterbas.exe
Dos - method 2:
× save your program
× open autoexec.bat
× add <qbasic path>\qbasic.exe /run <program path>\programname.bas
× save
For example:
your program is called starterbas.bas. It is stored in c:\myfiles\
your qbasic compiler is located in c:\qbasic\
you open autoexec.bat and add the following line:
c:\qbasic\qbasic.exe /run c:\myfiles\starterbas.bas
Windows - method 1:
Using regedit, add your compiled program's drive,path and filename to a new keyname (I think that's what it's called, stupid translated windows) in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
For example:
your program is called starterbas.bas, you first compile it to starterbas.exe. It is stored in c:\myfiles\
you add the following in a new keyname in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
:
c:\myfiles\starterbas.exe
Windows - method 2:
The same, but you store qbasicpath\qbasic.exe /run yourfile, c:\qbasic\qbasic.exe /run c:\myfiles\starterbas.bas to the keyname.
Windows - method 3:
Compile your file to the startup folder in your start menu.
Windows - method 4:
Create a shortcut in your startup folder in your start menu to: your compiler /run yourfile, for example: c:\qbasic\qbasic.exe /run c:\myfiles\starterbas.bas

You can also press start click run
Then type msconfig
That makes it easy to add and remove stuff to the startup queues. |
