Is there a quick way of removing the validity checks from a whole list of
Paradox 4.5 tables?  I am trying to convert from Paradox to Intrbase, and
about 19 out of 25 tables have validity checks on them, where they are
trying to do a lookup on another table.  I need to figure out a way (in
code) to run through the list of tables and remove the checks.

TIA,

Connie

Hi Connie,
did you really mean "Validity check" or is it rather "Referential
integrity"?

The quick and dirty way is to delete all the *.VAL files.  This will remove
all field validity checks including table lookups, referential integrity,
min & max values, defaults, pictures, etc.

The only other alternative would be to use BDE API calls to alter the
contents of the .VAL files.
