A well reported problem that only occurs w/ Version 5. The solution is to either get a different CDROM driver or just put any junk CDROM in the drive and leave it there. As long as there is a CDROM it doesn't care which one. Daniel A. Morgan

Mark Orki #3 / 5	Searching for CD Rom I am using Paradox 5 on Win95. There are about 5 applications I have written with not too many problems, at least nothing I couldn't work around, until now. I have about 6 reports that print out. For years they have worked well, until recently. When I attempt to print a report I get an error "Can't find drive e:\, e:\ being the CD Rom drive. It seems to of happened all of the sudden. I haven't changed any code or made any modifications to the applications. The only solution I have come up with, is to make sure a CD is in the drive at all times. It doesn't make any difference what CD I use. Really wierd! Anybody else have this problem? What might cause it, and what can I do to resolve it? -- Ligitimate Temporary Invalid, Getting Paid To Stay Home, Casual Paradox Programmer, Doesn't Have To Wait In Line At Disneyland

From what I've heard its a bug happening somewhere between Pdox and Windows.

Morgan In my experience, I have found that this comes about from having developed a system using Paradox installed on say your D drive. Then, you give the system to a client, who only has a C drive and a CD-ROM (being their D drive) and Paradox goes looking for a settings file on D drive (your original Paradox drive). The only way I've found to reliably fix the problem is, as mentioned above, to throw any CD at all in the drive! Hope this helps, Bevan Edwards
