How to Trigger Searches Inside of Paradigm from an External Source

Paradigm_Search.exe is a program to allow triggering a search within Paradigm from an external program. It is located in the Paradigm Accounting directory (typically C:\ProgramData\Paragon Computing Solutions\Paradigm Accounting) and can be run from the command line as follows:

Paradigm_Search [Phone Number]

For example:

Paradigm_Search 7171234567

The phone number should be numbers only, no formatting. This would bring up information about the given customer or vendor and allow for immediately creating a quote, order etc. for them. This feature functions the same as the search all feature, more info on that can be found here: Paradigm Search All

Because this search functionality can be used to search for phone numbers, a good candidate for this is to have a phone software search for a the phone number any time the phone rings.

Do Searches in Home Tab

There is an option in System > User Preferences > User Defaults to do the searches on the home tab, instead of a window pop up.
